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. | |
