I: Come, my soul, thy suit prepare --
Jesus loves to answer prayer; / He himself has bid thee pray, / Therefore will not say thee nay.
II: Thou art coming to a King, / Large petitions with thee bring; / For his grace and power are such / None can ever ask too much.
III: With my burden I begin --
Lord, remove this load of sin!
Let thy blood, for sinners spilt, / Set my conscience free from guilt.
IV: Lord! I come to thee for rest --
Take possession of my breast; / There thy blood-bought right maintain, / And without a rival reign.
V: As the image in the glass / Answers the beholder's face, / Thus unto my heart appear, / Print thine own resemblance there.
VI: 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:
VII: 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.
