1 Just as I am I come to Thee,
Myself I cannot better make;
The precious blood my only plea,
Oh, save me for Thy mercy’s sake.

Refrain:
Just as I am,
Just as I am I come to Thee;
Oh, hear me, bless me, save me, Lord,
Just as I am I come to Thee.

2 Just as I am, yet this I know,
The blood will all-sufficient be;
I shall be whiter than the snow,
Made fully whole in trusting Thee. [Refrain]

3 Just as I am I come today,
My hungry soul cries out for Thee;
I can no longer stay away,
Thine, wholly Thine, I long to be. [Refrain]

4 Just as I am, my Life, my Love,
My soul here finds a perfect rest;
While, like the weary, wandering dove,
Safe folded in Thy love I rest. [Refrain]

Author: Mrs. C. H. Morris

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke Go to person page >
