1 Come, my soul, your plea prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He Himself has bid you pray,
therefore will not turn away.
2 You are coming to a King;
large petitions with you 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 Your blood, for sinners spilt,
set my conscience free from guilt.
4 Lord, I come to You for rest,
be my heart's most welcome guest;
there Your blood-bought right maintain
and without a rival reign.
5 While I am a pilgrim here,
let Your 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 die Your people's death.
