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’s tree,
Remember all Thy dying groans,
And then remember me.
Thou wondrous Advocate with God,
I yield my soul to Thee;
While Thou art pleading on the throne,
Dear Lord, remember me.
Lord, I am guilty, I am vile,
But Thy salvation’s free;
Then, in Thine all abounding grace,
Dear Lord, remember me.
Howe’er forsaken or despised,
Howe’er oppressed I be,
Howe’er forgotten here on earth,
Do Thou remember me.
And when I close my eyes in death,
And human help shall flee,
Then, then, my dear redeeming God,
O then remember me.
---Alternative verses---
Jesus! thou art the sinner’s friend,
As such I look to thee;
Now in the bowels of thy love,
O Lord! remember me.
Remember thy pure word of grace,
Remember Calvary;
Remember all thy dying groans,
And then remember me,
Thou wondrous Advocate with God!
I yield myself to thee;
While thou art 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 distressed,
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, oh, my great Redeemer, God!
I pray remember me.
