Author: Charlotte Elliott 1789-1871 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #345 (2001) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: African American Heritage Hymnal First Line: Just as I am, without one plea Refrain First Line: O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Lyrics: 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, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
3 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!
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 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! Topics: Conflict; Invitation; Jesus Christ His Blood Scripture: John 7:37-38 Languages: English Tune Title: WOODWORTH
