Just as I Am, Thine Own to Be

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.

In the glad morn­ing of my day

My life to give

my vows to pay

With no re­serve and no de­lay

With all my heart I come.

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.

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.

With ma­ny dreams of fame and gold

Success and joy to make me bold

But dear­er still my faith to hold

For my whole life

I come.

And for Thy sake to win re­nown

And then to take the vic­tor’s crown

And at Thy feet to cast it down

O Mas­ter

Lord

I come.
