Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#145b

145b. Come, my Soul, thy Suit Prepare

1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He Himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee may.

2 Thou art coming to a King;
Large petitions with thee bring;
For His grace and power 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 Lord, I come to Thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.

5 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.

6 Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me live Thy people's death.

Amen.
