Lord Jesus, think on me, 

and purge away my sin; 

from earthbound passions set me free, 

and make me pure within.
.

Lord Jesus, think on me

by care and woe oppressed;

let me your loving servant be,

and taste your promised rest.
.

Lord Jesus, think on me, 

amid the bitter strife; 

through all my pain and misery 

become my health and life.

.
Lord Jesus, think on me, 

that, when the trial is past,

I may your radiant glory see, 

and share your joy at last.

.
