¶Lyrics / Text

Lord Jesus, think on me, and purge away my sin; from earthborn passions set me free, and make me pure within. Lord Jesus, think on me with many a care opprest; let me thy loving servant be, and taste thy promised rest. Lord Jesus, think on me, nor let me go astray; through darkness and perplexity point thou the heavenly way. Lord Jesus, think on me, that, when the flood is past, I may the eternal brightness see, and share thy joy at last. '''Lyrics:''' Synesius of Cyrene, circa 430 (''Μνώεο Χριστέ''), translated from Greek to English by Allen W. Chatfield, ''Songs and Hymns of Earliest Greek Christian Poets'', 1876.
