42. Come, Humble Sinner

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 sin
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 pray’r;
But, if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there.

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