Jesus, My Lord, to Thee I Cry

Eliza H. Hamilton·Modern

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.

Refrain

Take me as I am,
Take me as I am;
Oh, bring thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.

Verse 2

Helpless I am, and full of guilt,
But yet for me thy blood was spilt,
And thou canst make me as thou wilt,
But take me as I am.

Verse 3

I thirst, I long to know thy love,
Thy full salvation I would prove;
But since to thee I cannot move
Oh, take me as I am.

Verse 4

If thou hast work for me to do,
Inspire my will, my heart renew,
And work both in and by me, too,
But take me as I am.

Verse 5

And when at last the work is done.
The battle o’er, the victory won,
Still, still my cry shall be alone,
Oh, take me as I am.
