1 Ye who are troubled and burdened by sin,
Come just as you are.
Come to the Savior, a new life begin.
Oh, come just as you are!
Refrain:
Come just as you are.
Oh, come just as you are!
Turn from your sin, let the Savior come in,
and come just as you are.
2 Deep in your heart sin has written its scar;
Come just as you are.
Though from your Father you've wandered afar,
Oh, come just as you are! [Refrain]
3 Sinful and guilty, heart-broken and lost,
Come just as you are.
Think what your ransom on Calvary cost!
Oh, come just as you are! [Refrain]
4 Naught of your goodness for sin can atone;
Come just as you are.
Trust in the merit of Jesus alone,
And come just as you are! [Refrain]
5 Come with your heartache, your sorrow and pain;
Come just as you are.
No one has come to the Savior in vain.
Oh, come just as you are! [Refrain]
