Just as Thou art, how wondrous fair,
Lord Jesus, all Thy members are!
A life divine to them is given,
A long inheritance in heaven.
Just as I was I came to Thee,
An heir of wrath and misery;
Just as Thou art before the throne,
I stand in righteousness Thine own.
Just as Thou art, how wondrous free:
Loosed by the sorrows of the tree:
Saviour! The curse,
the wrath were Thine,
To give Thy saints this life divine.
Just as Thou art, nor doubt, nor fear
Can with Thy spotlessness appear;
O timeless love! as Thee, I’m seen
The righteousness of God in Him.
Just as thou art, Thou Lamb Divine!
Life, light, and holiness are Thine:
Thyself their endless source I see,
And they, the life of God, in me.
Just as Thou art, O blissful ray,
That turned my darkness into day!
That woke me from my death in sin
To know my perfectness in Him.
O teach me, Lord, this grace to own,
That self and sin no more are known:
That love, Thy love, in wondrous right,
Hath placed me in its spotless light!
Soon, soon, ‘mid joys on joys untold,
Thou wilt this grace and love unfold,
Till worlds on worlds adoring see
The part Thy members have in Thee.
