Hymn 377

Jesus, Thou Art The Sinner’s Friend

PISGAH, C.M.

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;
Remember all Thy dying groans,
And then remember me.

Thou wond'rous 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.

How e'er forsaken or distressed,
How e'er oppressed I be,
How e'er afflicted here on earth,
Do Thou remember me.

And when I close my eyes in death,
And creature helps all flee,
Then, O my great Redeemer God,
I pray remember me.
