Joy to the World ‎#145

145. The Only Plea

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, 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!

3 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!
