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

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 God, my Lord, my King, Thou art,
Take possession of my heart;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.

4 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.

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