Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary ‎#381

381. Come, My Soul, with All Thy Care

1 Come, my soul, with all thy care;
Jesus loves to answer prayer.
He Himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee nay.

2 Thou art coming to a king--
Large petitions with thee bring,
For His grace and pow'r are such
None can ever ask too much.

3 With my burden I begin:
Lord, remove this load of sin;
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.

4 God, my Lord, my King, Thou art;
Enter now my faithful heart.
There Thy blood-bought right maintain
And without a rival reign.

5 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer.
Be my Guide, my Guard, my Friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.

6 Ev'ry hour my strength renew
By Thy Word and Spirit true.
Let me live a life of faith;
Let me die Thy people's death.
