586. 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 bidd’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come,
O Lamb of God, 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,
O Lamb of God, 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,
O Lamb of God, 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,
O Lamb of God, 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,
O Lamb of God, I come.

6 Just as I am—Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come,
O Lamb of God, I come.
