Lord Jesus Think On Me

Lord Jesus, think on me And purge away my

Synesius of Cyrene · tr. Allen W. Chatfield · 6.6.8.6

1.Lord Jesus, think on me
And purge away my sin;
From earthborn passions set me free
And make me pure within.

2.Lord Jesus, think on me,
With many a care oppressed;
Let me Thy loving servant be
And taste Thy promised rest.

3.Lord Jesus, think on me
Amid the battle's strife;
In all my pain and misery
Be Thou my Health and Life.

4.Lord Jesus, think on me
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heav'nly way.

5.Lord Jesus, think on me
When floods the tempest high;
When on doth rush the enemy,
O Savior, be Thou nigh!
