1. Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;
  Unless Thou save me, I must die:
  Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
  And take me as I am!
(Chorus:)
  And take me as I am!
  And take me as I am!
  My only plea��Christ died for me!
  Oh, 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 Thine own Name's sake,
  And take me as I am.
(Chorus:)
  And take me as I am!
  And take me as I am!
  My only plea��Christ died for me!
  Oh, take me as I am!
4. Behold me, Savior, at Thy feet,
  Deal with me as Thou seest meet;
  Thy work begin, Thy work complete,
  But take me as I am.
