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 biddest me come to Thee,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

2.  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!

3.  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!

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