Just As I Am

Words by Charlotte Elliott (1789–1871) · Public domain

The words

  1. Stanza 1. Just as I am, without one pleaBut 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. Stanza 2. Just as I am, and waiting notTo rid my soul of one dark blot,To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

  3. Stanza 3. Just as I am, though tossed aboutWith many a conflict, many a doubt—“Fightings within, and fears without,”O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

  4. Stanza 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. Stanza 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. Stanza 6. Just as I am, thy love I ownHas broken ev’ry barrier down;Now to be thine, and thine alone,O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
