  1. God calling yet! shall I not hear?
    Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear?
    Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
    And still my soul in slumber lie?
  2. God calling yet! shall I not rise?
    Can I his loving voice despise,
    And basely his kind care repay?
    He calls me still; can I delay?
  3. God call-ing yet! and shall he knock,
    And I my heart the closer lock?
    He still is waiting to receive,
    And shall I dare his Spirit grieve?
  4. God calling yet! I cannot stay;
    My heart I yield without despise,
    Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;
    The voice of God hath reached my heart.
    Amen.

  1. Just as I am, without one plea
    But that thy blood was shed for me
    And that thou bid'st me come to thee
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
  2. Just as I am, tho' tossed about
    With many a conflict many a doubt,
    Fightings and fears within, without,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
  3. Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
    Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
    Because thy promise I believe,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
  4. Just as I am, thy love unknown
    Has broken every barrier down;
    Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
    O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
    Amen.
