Author: Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #820 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.6 First Line: Just as I am, without one plea Lyrics: 1 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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
6 Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken ev'ry barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Topics: Salvation Repentance, Faith; Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns Scripture: John 6:68 Languages: English Tune Title: SO WIE ICH BIN
