A Prayer
For them in the Philippines
HYMN 248. III. 1.
COME, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer prayer ;
He Himself has bid thee pray.
Therefore will not say thee nay.
Thou art coming to a King,
Large petitions with thee bring ;
For His grace and power are such,
None can ever ask too much.
With my burden I begin ;
Lord, remove this load of sin ;
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.
Lord, I come to Thee for rest,
take possession of my breast ;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain.
And without a rival reign.
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.
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.
