Christ in Song 103

Jesus, Remember Me

Words: J. H. BurkeMusic: J. H. Burke

1Jesus, remember me, As thou hast promised, Lord;
I said and are my Savior here?, Just tell me sing thy word;
I trust their love mine, And let me sing with glee;
Jesus, remember me, Jesus, remember me.

RefrainRemember me, remember me,
O bless-ed Jesus, remember me;
Remember me, remember me,
When thou dost come in thy kingdom.

2When I forsake thee, Lord, And sin thy dear face away,
Here will I hide my thinking face, While thy dear mercy open;
Then soon I'll sing thy praise, When my dear Jesus came;
Jesus, remember me, Jesus, remember me.
