Come, my soul, thy suit prepare! Jesus loves to answer prayer; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay.
Verse 2
With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt.

Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Take possession of my breast: There, Thy sovereign right maintain, And without a rival reign.
