219. Jesus, Thou Art the Sinner's Friend

1 Jesus, thou art the sinner's friend,
As such I look to thee;
Now, in the fullness of thy love,
O Lord! remember me.

Chorus:
Remember me, remember me,
O Lord, remember me;
Now in the fullness of they love,
O Lord! remember me.

2 Remember thy pure word of grace,
Remember Calvary;
Remember all thy dying groans,
And then remember me. [Chorus]

3 Thou wondrous Advocate with God!
I yield myself to thee:
While thou art sitting on thy throne,
O Lord! remember me. [Chorus]

4 I own I'm guilty, own I'm vile,
Yet thy salvation's free;
Then, in thine all-abounding grace,
O Lord! remember me. [Chorus]

5 Howe'er forsaken, or distressed,
Howe'er oppressed I be,
Howe'er afflicted here on earth,
Do thou remember me. [Chorus]

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

Chorus(2?):
Help me, dear Savior, thee to own,
And ever faithful be;
And when thou sittest on thy throne,
Dear Lord! remember me.
