Author: Charlotte Elliott, 1789-1871 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #374b (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:18 Lyrics: 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.
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.
3 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.
4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.
5 Just as I am, thy love unknown
has broken ev'ry barrier down,
now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come.
6 Just as I am, of that free love
the breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come. Topics: Faith, Trust and Commitment; Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Lent; Temptation, Penitence and Forgiveness; Year A Epiphany 2; Year B Proper 12 Languages: English Tune Title: SAFFRON WALDEN
