1	Jesus, my kind and gracious friend; Simply I look to thee; Now in the bowels of thy love, Dear Lord, remember me.	Pisgah 58, Stanza 1	Pisgah 58, Stanza 1
2	Remember thy pure word of grace, Remember Calv'ry's tree, Remember all thy dying groans, And then remember me.	Pisgah 58, Stanza 2	Pisgah 58, Stanza 2
3	Thou wond'rous advocate with God, I yield my soul to Thee; While thou art pleading on the throne, Dear Lord, remember me.	Pisgah 58, Stanza 3
4	I own I'm guilty, own I'm vile, Yet thy salvation's free; Then, in thy all-abounding grace, Dear Lord, remember me.
5	Howe'er forsaken or despis'd, Howe'er oppress'd 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.	Pisgah 58, Stanza 4
