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.



Thou mighty Advocate with God!

I yield myself to Thee;

While Thou art sitting on Thy throne,

O Lord, remember me!



I own I'm gulty, 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!
