Come, humble sinner,
in whose breast,
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt
and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve.
I値l go to Jesus, though my sin
Like mountains round me close;
I know His courts, I値l enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
Prostrate I値l lie before His throne,
And there my guilt confess,
I値l tell Him, I知 a wretch undone,
Without His sovereign grace.
I'll to the gracious King approach,
Whose scepter pardon gives;
Perhaps He may
command my touch,
And then the suppliant lives!
Perhaps He will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But, if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there.
I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
But if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
But, if I die with mercy sought,
When I the King have tried,
This were to die (delightful thought!)
As sinner never died.
---Alternative verses---
I値l go to Jesus, though my sin
Hath like a mountain rose;
I know His courts, I値l enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
For if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
