Come, my Soul, thy Suit Prepare

To my heart oh! enter Thou, Let it be Thy temple now. 3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted; Here Thy seed is duly sown: Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone. So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep Thy gift divine, Howsoe'er temptations thicken, May Thy Word still o'er me shine; As my pole-star through my life, As my comfort in my strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee; Let Thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near Thee While Thou dost Thy people feed; Here of life the fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes.

Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise And all Thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.
