Author: Rev. H. L. Hastings Hymnal: Gloria Deo #311 (1901) Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, O Lamb of God, Now I come, now I come; To wash me in Thy cleansing blood, Now I come, now I come. While mercy’s guiding beacons beam To point to the crimson stream That makes the foulest sinner clean, Now I come, now I come. 2 Just as I am, without delay, Now I come, now I come; To Christ the true and living Way, Now I come, now I come. For pardon purchased on the tree, For grace and mercy rich and free, O Lamb of God, I come to Thee, Now I come, now I come. Topics: Coming to Christ; Decision Languages: English Tune Title: HASTINGS
