Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bid'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 and many a doubt
Fightings within and fears without
O Lamb of God, 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

Just as I am, of fed, free love
The breadth, length, the height to prove
Heal, four seasons and then above
O Lamb of God, I come
Lamb of God, I come
