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
by care and woe oppressed;
let me your loving servant be,
and taste your promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus, think on me,
amid the bitter strife;
through all my pain and misery
become my health and life.
4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
nor let me go astray;
through darkness and perplexity
point to the heavenly way.
5 Lord Jesus, think on me,
that, when the trial is past,
I may your radiant glory see,
and share your joy at last.
