Hymn Lyrics

PLEASE NOTE: Not all verses may be sung and words may vary in the particular hymn presentation.

Come, My Soul, with Every Care
Words: John Newton (1725–1807)
Music: Vienna | Justin Heinrich Knecht
1. Come, my soul, with every care,
Jesus loves to answer prayer;
He himself bids you to pray,
Therefore will not turn away.

2. You are coming to your King,
Large petitions with you 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 Your blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.

4. Lord, Your rest to me impart,
Take possession of my heart;
There Your blood-bought right maintain
And without a rival reign.

5. While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Your love my spirit cheer;
As my guide, my guard, my friend,
Lead me to my journey’s end.

6. Show me what I am to do;
Every hour my strength renew.
Let me live a life of faith;
Let me die Your people’s death.
