Μνώεο Χριτέ.
LORD Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earthborn passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest;
Let me thy loving servant be,
And taste thy promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus. think on me,
Amid the battle’s strife;
In all my pain and misery
Be thou my health and life.
4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point thou the heavenly way.
5 Lord Jesus, think on me,
When flows the tempest high:
When on doth rush the enemy
O Saviour, be thou nigh.
6. Lord Jesus, think on me,
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share thy joy at last.
