Author: Marianne Farningham (Miss M. Hearne), 1834-1909 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #345b (1917) Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, Thine own to be,
Friend of the young, who lovest me,
To concentrate myself to thee,
O Jesus Christ, I come.
2 In the glad morning of my day,
My life to give, my vows to pay,
With no reserve, and no delay,
With all my heart I come.
3 I would live ever in the light,
I would work ever for the right,
I would serve Thee with all my might
Therefore to Thee I come.
4 Just as I am, young, strong, and free,
To be the best that I can be,
For truth, and righteousness, and Thee,
Lord of my life, I come.
5 With many dreams of fame and gold,
Success and joy to make me bold,
But dearer still my faith to hold,
For my whole life, I come.
6 And for Thy sake to win renown,
And then to take the victor's crown,
And at Thy feet to cast it down,
O Master, Lord, I come. Topics: Children Consecrated to Christ; Consecration To Christ; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; Service Of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: JUST AS I AM
