160. Just as I am

1 "Just as I am," thine own to be,
Friend of the young, who lovest me:
To consecrate myself to thee,
O Jesus Christ, I come, I come.

Chorus:
Just as I am,
Just as I am
Just as I am,
O Lord, I come.
Just as I am,
Just as I am
Just as I am,
O Lord, I come.

2 In the glad morning of my day,
My life to give, my vows to pay,
With no reserve and no delay,
With all my heart I come, I come. [Chorus]

3 I would live ever in the light,
I would work ever for the right,
I would serve thee with all my might,
Therefore to thee I come, I come. [Chorus]

4 "Just as I am," young, strong and free,
To be the best that I can be
For truth, and righteousness, and thee,
Lord of my life, I come, I come. [Chorus]
