84. I Come, O Blessed Lord

1 I come, O blessed Lord, to Thee,
I come today;
I am no longer satisfied
To stay away.

2 I will not wait until my life
Like Thine shall grow:
I’ll come at once; I know I’ve sinn’d:
I’ll tell Thee so.

3 It is enough for me to know,
Thou wilt receive
And cleanse my heart from ev’ry sin
If I believe.

4 Help me that I forget myself
In loving Thee;
And let Thine image on my heart
Reflected be.

5 O take me, Saviour crucified,
And let me prove
That those who most have been forgiv’n
Have most of love.
