Just As I Am, Thine Own to Be

Marianne Farningham (1887) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119:9

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

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.

Verse 5

And for thy sake to win renown, And then to take my victor’s crown, And at thy feet to cast it down, O Master, Lord, I come.
