The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3450

3450. 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.

2. Remember Thy pure Word of grace,
Remember Calvary’s tree,
Remember all Thy dying groans,
And then remember me.

3. Thou wondrous advocate with God,
I yield my soul to Thee;
While Thou art pleading on the throne,
Dear Lord, remember me.

4. Lord, I am guilty, I am vile,
But Thy salvation’s free;
Then, in Thine all abounding grace,
Dear Lord, remember me.

5. Howe’er forsaken or despised,
Howe’er oppressed I be,
Howe’er forgotten here on earth,
Do Thou remember me.

6. And when I close my eyes in death,
And human help shall flee,
Then, then, my dear redeeming God,
O then remember me.
