430. Just As I Am

1 Just as I am, Thine own to be,
Friend of the young, Who lovest me,
To consecrate myself to Thee, -
O Jesus Christ, I come.

2 In the glad morning of my day,
My life to give, my vows o 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 And for Thy sake to win renown,
And then to take the victor's crown,
And at Thy feet to lay it down,
O Master, Lord - I come.
