Hymn 539: Be ready to plead thy cause

Mura ebe, okan mi

  1. Be ready to plead thy cause,
    Jesus wants to hear Thy prayer,
    He has said that you should pray,
    For that reason, He will hear.

  2. You are coming to the King,
    Bring all your supplications,
    His grace is most abundant,
    No one ever asks too much.

  3. I start with my load of sin,
    Lift this great burden of sin!
    Let the blood that Thou has shed
    Wash away my guilt of sin.

  4. I am seeking peace from Thee,
    Jesus, Saviour, take my heart,
    Establish Thy throne within,
    Reign Thou as king in my heart.

  5. In my pilgrimage on earth,
    May Thy love my comfort be,
    My loving Shepherd and Friend,
    Lead me to my journey's end.

  6. Show what Thou would have me do,
    Bestow on me renewed health
    Establish me in the faith,
    Let me die a righteous death. Amen.
