The Successful Resolve

Edmund Jones • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Kings 7:3-5

Verse 1

Come, humble sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve, Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve:

Verse 2

I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close; I know His courts, I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose.

Verse 3

Prostrate I'll lie before His throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell Him, I'm a wretch undone Without His sovereign grace.

Verse 4

Perhaps He will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish I will pray, And perish only there.

Verse 5

I can but perish if I go; I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must forever die.

Verse 6

AMEN.
