Come, My Soul, Thy Suit Prepare

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Appears in 719 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Prayer and Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare: Jesus loves to answer prayer; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay, Therefore will not say thee nay. 2 Thou art coming to a King; Large petitions with thee bring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much, None can ever ask too much. 3 Lord, I come to thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There Thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign, And without a rival reign. 4 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, Lead me to my journey's end. 5 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. Amen. Used With Tune: HENDON

Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: Thomas Cotterill; Anon.; William B. Collyer Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 299 hymnals Topics: Watchfulness Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! Beneath his cross I view the day When heav'n and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet him. Amen.

The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will! O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, Thou has promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend!
