Tune:SOLITUDE
Composer:Lewis T. Downes

A277. Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare;
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee nay.

2 Thou art coming to a King:
Large petitions with Thee bring;
For His grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much.

3 With my burden I begin,
Lord! remove this load of sin;
Let Thy Blood for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.

4 Lord, I come to thee for rest;
Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.

5 Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die Thy people's death.

Amen.
