FRIEND OF SINNERS by RICHARD BURNHAM

First Line: JESUS! THOU ART THE SINNER'S FRIEND
Last Line: DEAR LORD! REMEMBER ME.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

Jesus! Thou art the sinner's Friend;
As such I look to Thee;
Now, in the fullness of Thy love,
O Lord! remember me.

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

Thou wondrous Advocate with God!
I yield myself to Thee;
While Thou art sitting on Thy throne,
Dear Lord! remember me.

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