O Lord, remember me, and visit me.
Jeremiah 15:15

 
SO sighed the prophet in his troubles, and 

   so have we often sighed.
 
Does not this prayer just suit us this morning?
 
O that the Lord would remember our weakness,
  our fears,
  our temptations,
  our many infirmities,
  our easily besetting sins,   
  our peculiar circumstances, and our many foes!
 
O that he would remember our prayers,
  our desires,
  our wants,
  our earnest longings for his presence,
    Spirit, and special grace!
 
O that he would visit us,
  for a visit from him would soften our hearts,
  sanctify our tempers,
  cheer our spirits,
  confound our foes,
  revive our graces,
  brighten our evidences,
  scatter our fears,
  inspire us with confidence,
     and fill us with courage!
 
“Lord, remember us with the favour
  which thou bearest unto thy people, and
  visit us with thy salvation;
  that we may see the good of thy chosen,
  rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, and
    glory with thine inheritance.”
 
Remember where we are going,
  what we have to do,
  what we shall be called to suffer,
  what we shall especially need, and
  visit us to bless us with all the grace we shall require.
 
If we remember the Lord, he remembers us;
  if we visit him, he will visit us.
 
Remember, Lord, thy word of grace,
Remember Calvary’s tree;
Remember Jesus’ dying groans,
And then remember me.
 
James Smith 1849
