Today’s hymn sung

Just as I am, without one plea

sung by St Martin’s Voices

1 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.

2 Just as I am, though tossed about

with many a conflict, many a doubt,

fightings within and fears without,

O Lamb of God, I come.

3 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.

4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,

wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:

because thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come.

5 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.

6 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.

Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871)
