Lyics

JESUS, thou art the sinner's friend;
As such I look to thee:
Now in the fullness of thy love,
O Lord, remember me.


Remember thy pure word of grace,
Remember Calvary;
Remember all thy promises,
And then 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.


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