56. Come, Humble Sinner

1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast,
A thousand tho’ts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve;
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
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;
I know His courts, I’ll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.

3 Perhaps He may admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But, if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there;
But, if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there.

4 I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
But if I stay away, I know
I must forever die;
But if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
