Original text and translations

English text

1.

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 many a care oppressed;

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 floods the tempest high;

When on doth rush the enemy,

O Savior, be Thou nigh!

6.

Lord Jesus, think on me

That, when the flood is past,

I may th’eternal brightness see

And share Thy joy at last.

7.

Lord Jesus, think on me

That I may sing above

To Father, Spirit, and to Thee

The strains of praise and love.
