[1520]St. Bride:

Samuel Howard, 1762

Greek; Synesius (c.375-430);

Tr. Allen W. Chatfield, 1876

Lord Jesus, think on me,

And purge away my sin;

From earth-born passions set me free,

And make me pure within.

Lord Jesus, think on me,

With care and woe opprest,

Let me thy loving servant be,

And taste 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 the eternal brightness see,

And share thy joy at last.

Amen.
