Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Appears in 715 hymnals Lyrics: 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 With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin! Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 3 God, my Lord, my King, Thou art, Take possession of my heart; There Thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign. 4 While I am a pilgrim here, Let Thy love my spirit cheer; As my guide, my guard, my friend; Lead me to my journey's end. 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.

Come, Thou Savior of our race

Author: M. Luther; Ambrose, d. 397 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Savior of our race, Choicest gift of heavenly grace! O Thou blessed virgin’s Son, Be Thy race on earth begun. 2 Not of mortal blood or birth, He descends from Heaven to earth; By the Holy Ghost conceived, Truly man to be believed. 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child! Of the virgin undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned. 4 From the Father forth He came, And returneth to the same, Captive leading death and hell: High the song of triumph swell! 5 Equal to the Father now, Though to dust Thou once didst bow; Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see? 6 Brightly doth Thy manger shine, Glorious in its light divine: Let not sin o’ercloud this light, Ever be our faith thus bright.

Dunkel muß nicht kommen drein, der Glaub bleib immer im Schein. 5 Lob sei Gott dem Vater g'tan; Lob sei Gott seim ein'gen Sohn, Lob sei Gott dem Heilgen Geist immer und in Ewigkeit.

Joyful, Lord, to you I bow. Come into my heart, I pray; Oh, prepare yourself a way. 5 Crush for me the serpent's head That, set free from doubt and dread, I may cling to you in faith, Safely kept through life and death, 6 And, when you shall come again As a glorious king to reign, I with joy may see your face, Freely ransomed by your grace.
