"I Come to Thee, O Blessed Lord" by Magnus B. Landstad, 1802-1880 Translated by Carl Doving, 1867-1937 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 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 Thou 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 Thou didst for all our sins atone; Be merciful, I Thee implore, Be merciful forevermore. _______________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #330 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: John 6: 37 Author: Magnus B.
