Come, Humble Sinner

No. 114
([COME, HUMBLE SINNER, IN WHOSE BREAST])
1.

Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve:

2.

I'll go to Jesus, though my sins
Like mountains round me close;
I know His courts, I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.

3.

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.

4.

Perhaps He will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But if I perish I will pray,
And perish only there.

5.

I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
For if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.

AMEN.
