Lord Jesus, Think on Me

Synesius of Cyrene, Bishop of Ptolemais

Collegiate Church of St Mary Warwick Choir

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,
with care and woe oppressed,
let me Thy loving servant be,
and taste Thy promised rest.

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,
that, when the flood is past,
I may eternal brightness see,
and share Thy joy at last.

6. Lord Jesus, think on me
That I may sing above
To Father, Spirit, and to Thee
The strains of praise and love.
