1Je-sus! thou art the sinner's Friend; As

2Oh, Lord! re-mem-ber me....... Oh,

3such I look to thee....... Now in the

4Lord, re-mem-ber me....... Now in the

5bow-els of thy love, Oh, Lord! re-mem-ber me.

6bow-els of thy love, Oh, Lord! re-mem-ber me.

7Remember thy pure word of grace,
Remember Calvary;
Remember all thy dying groans,
And then remember me.

8O remember Adam's fall with God!
I yield myself to thee;
While thou art sitting on thy throne,
Oh, Lord! remember me.

9I own I'm guilty, own I'm vile,
Yet thy salvation's free:
Then, in thy all-abounding grace,
Oh, Lord! remember me.

10Howe'er forsaken or distressed,
Howe'er oppressed I be,
Howe'er afflicted here on earth,
Do thou remember me.

11And when I close my eyes in death,
And creature helps all flee,
Then, oh my great Redeemer, God!
I pray, remember me.
