LORD, REMEMBER ME!

Lord, remember me.

Remember me when storms oppress

And fill my soul with fearfulness,

When friends forsake me, foemen chide,

When I can find nowhere to hide

Except in Thy dear wounded side –

Lord, remember me!

.------.

Lord, remember me.

When I am tempted Lord, to stray

From out the straight and narrow way,

Then keep my soul in touch with Thine,

Lest from thy way my steps decline;

O leave me not to weep and pine!

Lord, remember me!

.-----.

Lord, remember me.

When-e’er the Cross seems hard to bear

And for my soul none seem to care,

And I am left forlorn and lone,

When tears are shed to all unknown,

O Lord in mercy hear my groan,

And remember me!

.-----.

Lord, remember me.

When all my cares and sorrows past,

And I behold Thy Face at last,

May my soul bless’d and shining bright,

Enraptured in Thy holy light,

Testify that through the night

Thou hast remembered me!

.-----.
