301
Lord Jesus, Think on Me
1. Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
2. Lord Jesus, think on me,
Amid the battle's strife;
In all my pain and misery
Be Thou my health and life.
3. Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heavenly way.
4. Lord Jesus, think on me,
That, when this life is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share Thy joy at last.
