REMEMBER ME

Jesus, Thou art the sinner's Friend,
As such I look to Thee;
Now in the fulness of Thy love,
O Lord, remember me.

Remember Thy pure Word of grace,
Remember Calvary;
Remember all Thy dying groans,
And then remember me.

Thou wondrous Advocate with God,
I yield myself to Thee;
While Thou art sitting on Thy throne,
O Lord, remember me.

I own I'm guilty, own I'm vile,
Yet Thy salvation's free;
Then in Thy all-abounding grace,
O Lord, remember me.

Howe'er forsaken or distressed,
Howe'er oppressed I be,
Howe'er afflicted here on earth,
O Lord, remember me.

And when I close my eyes in death,
And creature helps all flee,
Then, O my great Redeemer God,
I pray remember me.
