O Lord, I Come

Representative Text

1. O Lord, I come un­to Thy throne,
And plead Thy grace and pow’r alone;
I’m guil­ty, lost, and doomed to die
Unless Thou save me from on high.

Refrain

O Lord, I come, I come to Thee,
Forgive my sins, and set me free;
O Lord, I come, now ful­ly bless,
And fill me with Thy right­eous­ness.

2. Unworthy, Lord, to breathe Thy name,
Yet thro’ Thy death Thy love I claim;
Salvation’s free, in faith I bow,
And hum­bly crave Thy par­don now.

Refrain

3. O Lord, I come, de­ny me not,
Thy blood can cleanse each sin­ful blot;
In Thee I trust, oh, hear my pray­er,
And for Thy courts my soul pre­pare.

Refrain

4. He saves, He saves, His grace is mine,
He fills my heart with peace di­vine,
And some sweet day in Hea­ven I’ll sing
Eternal praise to Christ my king.

Refrain
