1 Just as I am, without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd’st me to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Just as I am, thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
6 Just as I am, of thy great love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above:
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
