Lyics

Je-sus, thou art the sin-ner's friend;
As such I look to thee:
Now, in the full-ness of thy love, 
O Lord, re-mem-ber me.


REF.-
Re-mem-ber me, re-mem-ber me,
O Lord, re-mem-ber me;
Now, in the full-ness of thy love,
O Lord, re-mem-ber me.


Remember thy pure word of grace,
Remember Calvary;
Remember all thy promises,
And then remember me.-REF.


Thou mighty Advocate with God,
I yield myself to thee:
While thou art sitting on thy throne,
O Lord, remember me.-REF.


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


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