     11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.(KJV)

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.
