Lord, I am come! Thy promise is my plea

Verse 1

Lord, I am come! thy promise is my plea, Without thy word I durst not venture nigh! But thou hast called the burdened soul to thee, A weary, burdened soul, O Lord, am I!

Verse 2

Bowed down beneath a heavy load of sin, By Satan's fierce temptations sorely prest, Beset without, and full of fears within, Trembling and faint I come to thee for rest.

Verse 3

Be thou my refuge, Lord, my hiding-place; I know no force can tear me from thy side; Unmoved, I then may all accusers face, And answer every charge, with "Jesus died."
