Lyrics
LORD JESUS, THINK ON ME
Text by Synesius of Cyrene (4th century)
Music by Daniel Burton
Lord Jesus, think on me and purge away my sin;
From earthborn passions set me free, and make me pure within.
Lord Jesus, think on me, by anxious thought oppressed;
Your loving servant let me be, and taste your promised rest.
Lord Jesus, think on me; nor let me go astray;
Through darkness, fear and despair point out the heavenly way.
Lord Jesus, think on me; that when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see and share your joy at last.
