Just as Thou art, how wondrous fair

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

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.

Verse 5

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.

Verse 6

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.

Verse 7

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.

Verse 8

Soon, soon, 'mid joys on joys untold,
Thou wilt this grace and love unfold,
Till worlds on worlds and adoring see
The part Thy members have in Thee.
