REMEMBER ME, by                    
First Line: The thief drawn nigh to death
Last Line: Remember me!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cearnach, Conal
Subject(s): Prayer


The thief drawn nigh to death,
Besought with failing breath—
"Remember me!"

With pain and anguish rent,
Regretting a life mis-spent,
His prayer for mercy went—
"Remember me!"

Not vainly did he plead,
Thou gavest instant heed
To mercy's plea.
Lord in mine hour of need—
Remember me!
