The Otterbein Hymnal

By Edmund S. Lorenz

239 I Do Believe. C.M.

The Friend of Sinners. (485)

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

3 Thou wondrous Advocate with God!
I yield myself to thee;
While thou art sitting on thy 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.

Richard Burnham, 1783, a.
