1. Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
   A thousand thoughts revolve,
   Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
   And make this last resolve.

2. I'll go to Jesus, though my sin
   Hath like a mountain rose;
   I know his courts, I'll enter in,
   Whatever may oppose.

3. Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
   And there my guilt confess;
   I'll tell him, I'm a wretch undone
   Without his sovereign grace.

4. I'll to the gracious King approach,
   Whose scepter pardon gives;
   Perhaps he may command my touch,
   And then the suppliant lives.

5. Perhaps he will admit my plea,
   Perhaps will hear my prayer;
   But, if I perish, I will pray,
   And perish only there.

6. I can but perish if I go;
   I am resolved to try;
   For if I stay away I know
   I must forever die.

7. But if I die with mercy sought,
   When I the King have tried,
   This were to die (delightful thought)
   As sinner never died.
