Author: M.B. Landstad Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #101 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I come to Thee, O blessed Lord,
Invited by Thy gracious word
To this Thy feast, to sup with Thee,
Grant that a worthy guest I be.
2 I come to Thee with sin and grief,
For Thou alone canst give relief,
Thy death for me, dear Lord, I plead:
O Jesus, help me in my need!
3 Shouldst Thou a strict account demand,
Who could, O Lord, before Thee stand?
Purge all my secret sins away:
Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay!
4 O Jesus, Lamb of God, alone
Thou didst for all our sins atone,
Though I have sinned and gone astray,
Turn not, O Lord, Thy guest away.
5 O Jesus, Lamb of God alone
Who didst for all our sins atone,
Be merciful, I Thee implore,
Have mercy, Lord, for evermore! Topics: The Church Confession; The Church Confession; Confession of Sin Tune Title: [I come to Thee, O blessed Lord]
