1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer pray'r;
He himself has bid thee pray,
Rise and ask without delay.
2 With my burden I begin,
Lord! remove this load of sin!
Let thy blood for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.
3 Lord! I come to thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast;
There thy sov'reign right maintain,
And without a rival reign.
4 Show me what I have to do,
Ev'ry hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me live the people's death.
