Lyrics

Ye who are trou­bled
And bur­dened by sin,
Come just as you are;
Come to the Sav­ior,
A new life be­gin,
Oh, come just as you are.

Refrain

Come just as you are,
Oh, come just as you are;
Give up your sin,
Let the Savior come in,
And come just as you are.

Deep in your heart sin
Has writ­ten its scar,
Come just as you are;
Tho’ from your Father
You’ve wan­dered afar,
Oh, come just as you are.

Refrain

Sinful and guilty,
Heart­brok­en and lost,
Come just as you are;
Think what your ransom
On Calvary cost!
Oh, come just as you are.

Refrain

Naught of your goodness
For sin can atone,
Come just as you are;
Trust in the merit
Of Jesus alone,
And come just as you are.

Refrain

Come with your heartache,
Your sorrow and pain,
Come just as you are;
No one has come to
The Savior in vain,
Oh, come just as you are.
