493. Lord Jesus, Think on Me

1 Lord Jesus, think on me,
and purge away my sin;
from earthbound passions set me free,
and make me pure within.

2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
amid the battles 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 heav'nly way.

4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
that when this is life is past,
I may th'eternal brightness see,
and share Thy joy at last.
