Lyics

Come, humble, sinner, in whose breast,

A thousand thoughts revolve;

Come with your guilt and fear oppressed,

And make this last resolve:

I'll go to Jesus, tho' 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 sovereign 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.
