Nehemiah 5:19 Remember me with favor, my God, for all I have done for these people.

V. 1 Lord Jesus, think on me,

And purge away my sin;

From earthborn passions set me free,

And make me pure within.

V. 2 Lord Jesus, think on me,

With care and woe oppressed;

Let me Thy loving servant be,

And taste Thy promised rest.

V. 3 Lord Jesus, think on me,

Nor let me go astray;

Through darkness and perplexity

Point Thou the heavenly way.

V. 4 Lord Jesus, think on me,

That I may sing above

To Father, Spirit, and to Thee,

The strains of praise and love.
