1
Jesus, my Lord, to thee I cry,Unless thou help me I must die;
O bring thy free salvation nigh
And take me as I am.
Refrain
O take me as I am,O take me as I am,
My only plea Christ died for me;
O take me as I am.
2
Helpless I am and full of guilt,But yet for me thy blood was spilt,
And thou canst make me what thou wilt
And take me as I am.
3
No preparation can I make,My best resolves I only break,
Yet save me for thy mercy’s sake
And take me as I am.
4
Behold me, Saviour, at thy feet,Deal with me as thou seest meet,
Thy work begin, thy work complete,
But take me as I am.
