Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #159 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Come, humble sinner, in whose breast Lyrics: 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast,
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear oppress'd,
And make this last resolve:
2 "I'll go to Jesus, though my sin
Hath like a mountain rose;
I know his courts, I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose:
3 "Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess;
I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone
Without his sovereign grace:
4 "Perhaps he will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But if I perish I will pray,
And perish only there.
6 "I can but perish if I go,
I am resolv'd to try;
For if I stay away, I know
I must for ever die."
6 But if I die with mercy sought,
When I the King have tried,
This were to die (delightful thought!)
As sinner never died. Topics: Holy Spirit Gospel Call Languages: English
