752. I Am Coming, Lord, to Thee

1 I am coming, Lord, to Thee with my broken heart;
I am coming, Lord, to Thee for rest;
Wilt Thou hear my humble plea, bid my sins depart?
Oh, release me, Savior, I’m oppressed.

Refrain:
I am coming, Lord, to Thee, wilt Thou hear my humble plea?
I am coming with my heart oppressed;
I am coming, I am coming,
I am coming, Lord, to Thee for rest.

2 I am coming, Lord, to Thee with relenting will,
I will gladly lay my burden down;
I will consecrate to Thee and Thy law fulfill,
I will bear the cross, and wear a crown. [Refrain]

3 I am coming, Lord, to Thee, and with anguish riv’n,
I am weary, worn, and tired of sin;
Lord, I press my urgent plea, may I be forgiv’n?
While I knock, O Savior, let me in. [Refrain]

4 I am coming, Lord, to Thee with an aching breast,
And I know that Thou wilt hear my cry;
I will leave the paths of sin, for my heart’s distressed,
Save me, or I perish, Lord, and die. [Refrain]

5 I am coming, Lord, to Thee, for I’m sick and sore,
Do not turn from me Thy smiling face;
Lord, for mercy now I call, I will sin no more,
Wilt Thou hear and save me by Thy grace? [Refrain]
