Come, My Soul, Thy Suit Prepare

Author: John Newton Appears in 709 hymnals Topics: Watchfulness and Prayer Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer pray'r; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay. 2 With my burden I begin; Lord, remove this load of sin; Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 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. 5 Show me what I have to do, Ev'ry hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people's death.
