  1. 1Come, humble sinner, in whose breast,
  2. A thousand tho’ts revolve,
  3. Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
  4. And make this last resolve;
  5. Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
  6. And make this last resolve.
  7. 2I’ll go to Jesus, though my sin
  8. Hath like a mountain rose;
  9. I know His courts, I’ll enter in,
  10. Whatever may oppose;
  11. I know His courts, I’ll enter in,
  12. Whatever may oppose.
  13. 3Perhaps He may admit my plea,
  14. Perhaps will hear my prayer;
  15. But, if I perish, I will pray,
  16. And perish only there;
  17. But, if I perish, I will pray,
  18. And perish only there.
  19. 4I can but perish if I go;
  20. I am resolved to try;
  21. But if I stay away, I know
  22. I must forever die;
  23. But if I stay away, I know
  24. I must forever die.
