431. Come, My Soul, Your Plea Prepare

1 Come, my soul, your plea prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He himself has bid you pray,
Therefore will not turn way.

2 You are coming to a King;
Large petitions therefore bring;
For his grace and pow'r are such,
None can ever ask too much.

3 Lord, I come to Thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast;
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.

Amen.
