(FIRST TUNE)

Henry Smart (1813-1870).

Charlotte Elliott (1780-1871).

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!

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!

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 !

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 !
