101 I come to Thee, O blessed Lord

1 I come to Thee, O blessed Lord, Invited by Thy gracious word To this Thy feast, to sup with Thee, Grant that a worthy guest I be. 2 I come to Thee with sin and grief, For Thou alone canst give relief, Thy death for me, dear Lord, I plead: O Jesus, help me in my need! 3 Shouldst Thou a strict account demand, Who could, O Lord, before Thee stand? Purge all my secret sins away: Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay! 4 O Jesus, Lamb of God, alone, Who didst for all our sins atone, Though I have sinned and gone astray, Turn not, O Lord, Thy guest away! 5 O Jesus, Lamb of God alone, Who didst for all our sins atone, Be merciful, I Thee implore, Have mercy, Lord, for evermore!
