Verse 1

Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;

Unless Thou help me I must die:

Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,

And take me as I am.

And take me as I am! And take me as I am!

My only plea—Christ died for me,

Oh, take me as I am!

Verse 2

Helpless I am and full of guilt;

But yet for me Thy blood was spilt,

And Thou can’st make me what Thou wilt,

And take me as I am.

Verse 3

No preparation can I make,

My best resolves I only break:

Yet save me for Thine own name’s sake,

And take me as I am.

Verse 4

Behold me, Saviour, at Thy feet,

Deal with me as Thou seest meet;

Thy work begin, Thy work complete,

And take me as I am.
