THE CHURCH
CONGREGATIONAL HYMNS

(88.86) R. C. H. 497

by MARIANNE FARNINGHAM, 1834-1909

Just as 1 am, Thine own to be
"And I no longer live, but Christ lives in me" Gal. 2:20
Just as 1 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.
