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.
