Lord, I Come

Representative Text

1 All my human weakness feeling,
In Thy blessed name appealing,
Now for more of Thy revealing,
Lord I come!

Refrain:
All upon Thine altar leaving,
Ev’rything from Thee receiving,
Unto Thee in faith believing
Lord I come.

2 Nothing of my own possessing,
Sin and selfishness confessing,
For an undeserved blessing,
Lord I come! [Refrain]

3 Tho’ I often have denied Thee,
‘Twas my sin that crucified Thee!
Yet forgive me love me, guide me—
Lord I come! [Refrain]

4 Kindle now the sacred fire
In my soul for Thee, and higher
Lift me; for This one; desire
Lord I come! [Refrain]

5 From death’s dark mysterious river
Thou wilt my poor soul deliver;
To be Thine, yea Thine forever,
Lord I come! [Refrain]

6 Hold Thou still the cross before me;
Watch in tender mercy o’er me
Till I see Thy face in glory;
Lord I come! [Refrain]
