467 COME 7.7.7.7

George M. Garrett, 1872

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 mainAnd without a rival reign.

5 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.

6 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.
Rev. John Newton, 1779

Schnyder von Wartensee, 1786

2 In our sickness or our health, In our want, or in our wealth, If we look to God in prayer, God is present everywhere. 3 When our earthly comforts fail, When our foes and fears prevail,

"Tis the time for earnest prayer; God is present everywhere.

4 Then, my soul, in every strait, To thy Father come, and wait; He will answer every prayer: God is present everywhere.

2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins, as in His sight,
For awful is His Name.

3 Watch: 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak, He's near;
Mark the first signal of His hand,
And ready all appear.
