Lyics

Come, humble sinner, in whose breast,
A thousand thoughts revolve;
Come, with your guilt and fear oppress'd,
And make this last resolve:


I'll go to Jesus, though my sin
Has like a mountain rose;
His kingdom now I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.



Humbly I'll bow at his command,
And there my guilt confess;
I'll own I am a wretch undone
Without his sov'reign grace.


Surely he will accept my plea,
For he has bid me come;
Forthwith I'll rise, and to him flee,
For yet, he says, there's room.



I cannot perish if I go;
I am resolv'd to try:
For if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
