Lord Jesus, Think on Me

 A hymn that doesn't get old! Ever! This was written in AD 410.

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 care and woe oppressed; 

     let me thy loving servant be and gain 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 th'eternal brightness see and share thy joy at last.

Written by Synesius of Cyrene, North Africa, (today situated on or near Benghazi, Libya)

Set to the tune Damon.
