693 The Christian Life

 

1. Just as I am, without one plea,

but that thy blood was shed for me,

and that thou bidd’st me come to thee,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

 

2. Just as I am, though tossed about

with many a conflict, many a doubt;

fightings and gears with in, without,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

 

3. 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.

 

4. 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.

 

5. Just as I am, thy love unknown

has broken every barrier down;

now to be thine, yea, thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

 

6. Just as I am, of thy great love,

the breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,

here for a season, then above;

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
