Text: | Come, my soul, thy suit prepare |
Author: | John Newton |
Tune: | BRASTED |
Composer: | Georg P. Weimar |
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare;
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee, Nay.
Thou art coming to a King:
Large petitions with thee bring;
For his grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much.
With my burden I begin:
Lord, remove this load of sin;
Let thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.
279
Lord, I come to thee for rest;
Take possession of my breast;
There thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.
While I am a pilgrim here,
Let thy love my spirit cheer;
As my guide, my guard, my friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.
Show me what I have to do;
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith;
Let me die thy people's death.
Holy Father, Holy Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
Glory, as of old, to thee,
Now, and evermore shall be.
Amen.
