Author: Edmund Jones Hymnal: Songs of Faith and Hope Number 2 #42 (1909) First Line: Come, humble sinner, in whose breast Lyrics: 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. Tune Title: [Come, humble sinner, in whose breast]
Come, Humble Sinner
