Just as I Am

Hymn lyrics by Charlotte Elliot,
Music by William B. Bradbury
Verse 1
  • Just as I am, without one plea,
  • But that Thy blood was shed for me,
  • And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
  • O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Verse 2
  • 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.
Verse 3
  • Just as I am, though tossed about
  • With many a conflict, many a doubt,
  • Fightings and fears within, without,
  • O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Verse 4
  • 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.
Verse 5
  • 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.
Verse 6
  • Just as I am, Thy love unknown
  • Hath broken every barrier down;
  • Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
  • O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Verse 7
  • Just as I am, of that free love
  • The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
  • Here for a season, then above,
  • O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
