JUST AS I AM

A HYMN FOR THE 10th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt.
Fighting and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot;
to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
