Jesus! I Come to Thee (Beman)

Jesus! I come to Thee

A sin­ner doomed to die;

My on­ly re­fuge is Thy cross—

Here at Thy feet I lie.

Can mer­cy reach my case

And all my sins re­move?

Break

O my God! this heart of stone

And melt it by Thy love.

Too long my soul has gone

Far from my God

astray;

I’ve sport­ed on the brink of hell

In sin’s de­lus­ive way.

But

Lord! my heart is fixed—

I hope in Thee alone;

Break off the chains of sin and death

And bind me to Thy throne.

Thy blood can cleanse my heart

Thy hand can wipe my tears—

Oh! send Thy bless­èd Spir­it down

To ban­ish all my fears.

Then shall my soul arise

From sin and Sa­tan free;

Redeemed from hell and ev­ery foe

I’ll trust alone in Thee.
