I Come

Again the blessed gospel I have heard

Tune: [Once more, my soul, thy Savior, through the Word]
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 Again the blessed Gospel I have heard,
That Word divine and true,
And God again has spoken to my soul;
O now what shall I do?

Chorus:
I come! I come!
I come to Thee, my God,
I do Thy love believe.
I do accept Thy gift of life and peace,
I do Thy Son receive.

2 My wayward heart has wandered far from Thee,
And known no rest or home,
No present peace, no hope of joy beyond,
But now to Thee I come. [Chorus]

3 No works of mine, no merit can I bring,
No holiness within,
I only trust the precious blood of Christ;
It cleanses from all sin. [Chorus]
