Take Me as I Am, O Savior

lyricist: William Williams
Composer: William Owen, 1852

Take me as I am

O Sav­ior

Better I can nev­er be;

Thou alone canst bring me near­er

Self but draws me far from Thee.

I can nev­er

I can nev­er

I can nev­er

But with­in Thy wounds be saved

But with­in Thy wounds be saved.

Wearied of the des­ert jour­ney

Which through pain and per­il goes

I have failed

alone

to con­quer

E’en the mean­est of my foes.

But the strong­est

but the strong­est

But the strong­est

Flies be­fore Thy glo­ri­ous name

Flies be­fore Thy glo­ri­ous name.

Calvary’s blood the weak ex­alt­eth

More than con­quer­ors to be;

Calvary’s blood the strong ab­as­eth

Myriad hosts to bow to Thee.

O re­vive me

O re­vive me

O re­vive me

With a breeze from Cal­va­ry

With a breeze from Cal­va­ry.

I will trust Thy might un­mea­sured

Great the work that marks Thy way;

Thou hast death

and Thou hast Sa­tan

Thou hast hell be­neath Thy sway;

Hill of Cal­v’ry! Hill of Calv’ry!

Hill of Cal­v’ry!

I shall praise for ev­er­more.

I shall praise for ev­er­more.
