A Prayer from Synesius of Cyrene


Lord Jesus, think on me,
and purge away my sin;
from earthbound passions set me free,
and make me pure within.

Lord Jesus, think on me
by care and woe oppressed;
let me your loving servant be,
and taste your promised rest.

Lord Jesus, think on me, 
amid the bitter strife;
through all my pain and misery
become my health and life.

Lord Jesus, think on me,
that, when the trial is past
I may your radiant glory see,
and share your joy at last.
