Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Common Praise #404 (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Scripture: Hebrews 11:13-16 Lyrics: 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 Thou art coming to a King:
large petitions with thee bring;
for his grace and power are such
none can ever ask too much.
3 With my burden I begin:
Lord, remove this load of sin;
let thy blood, for sinners spilt,
set my conscience free from guilt.
4 Lord, I come to thee for rest;
take possession of my breast;
there thy blood-bought right maintain,
and without a rival reign.
5 While I am a pilgrim here,
let thy love my spirit cheer;
be my guide, my guard, my friend,
lead me to my journey’s end. Topics: Proper 11 Year B; Proper 26 Year B; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: EAST PECKHAM
