21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. 22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained. 23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.(KJV)

1. Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, 
Jesus loves to answer prayer; 
He Himself has bid thee pray, 
Therefore will not say thee nay. 

2. Thou art coming to a King, 
Large petitions with thee bring; 
For His grace and pow’r are such 
None can ever ask too much. 

3. With my burden I begin: 
Lord, remove this load of sin; 
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, 
Set my conscience free from guilt. 

4. Lord, I come to Thee for rest, 
Take possession of my breast; 
There Thy blood-bought right maintain 
And without a rival reign. 

5. As the image in the glass 
Answers the beholder’s face, 
Thus unto my heart appear; 
Print Thine own resemblance there. 

6. While I am a pilgrim here, 
Let Thy love my spirit cheer; 
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, 
Lead me to my journey’s end. 

7. Show me what I have to do; 
Every hour my strength renew. 
Let me live a life of faith; 
Let me die Thy people’s death.
