Come, My Soul, Thy Suit Prepare (Weekly Hymn Project)

Today's hymn is "Come, My Soul, Thy Suit Prepare".

The title may not be familiar to many, but the tune probably will be. When I setup to record this one, I wasn't sure about it and then I started playing and thought, "Hey, that's the tune to 'Take My Life and Let It Be'!" Kind of neat to have a completely new set of lyrics to a familiar tune. I also accidentally sang "Come, my soul, thy suite..." :-)

Lyrics:

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare,
Jesus loves to answer pray'r.
He Himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee nay,
Therefore will not say thee nay.

Thou art coming to a King,
Large petitions with thee bring,
For his grace and pow'r are such,
None can ever ask too much,
None can ever ask too much.

Lord! I come to Thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign,
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,
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,
Let me die Thy people's death.

Words by: John Newton
