560. Just As I Am, without One Plea

1 Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidst 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 fears within, without,
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!

4 Just as I am, thy love unknown
hath broken ev’ry barrier down.
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
