  *++Lyrics:|\\
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, 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, 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, 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, I come.\\
\\
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,\\
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;\\
Because Thy promise I believe,\\
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.\\
\\
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, I come.\\
\\
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, I come!\\
\\
