Come, trembling 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, though my sin
High as the mountains rose;
I know his courts, I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
“Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess;
I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone,
Without his sovereign grace.
“I'll to the gracious King approach,
Whose sceptre pardon gives;
Perhaps he may command my touch,
An 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;
For if I stay away, I now
I must for ever die.”
