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 are 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 distress'd, 

Howe'er oppress'd I be,

Howe'er afflicted here on earth,

Do thou 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!
