Lyrics to the hymn, Just As I Am, Thine Own To Be

Just As I Am, Thine Own To Be


Introduction

 Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have.

The Subject At Hand

Today we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Just As I Am, Thine Own To Be, by Marianne Farningham in 1887.

It's kind of like Just As I Am by Charlotte Elliott; it has the line "Just as I am" and it ends on the line "I come."

Hmm, somebody must have been a fan of the other; Charlotte Elliott wrote hers in 1835. 

I don't know. Maybe they're completely unrelated. Maybe. I just don't know.

If you don't know how the tune goes, I'll leave some links down below.

Now, on with the show!

The Lyrics

Verse 1 

Just as I am, Thine own to be,

Friend of the young, who lovest me,

To consecrate myself to Thee, 

O Jesus Christ, I come.

Verse 2 

In the glad morning of my day,

My life to give, my vows to pay,

With no reserve and no delay,

With all my heart I come.

Verse 3 

I would live ever in the light, 

I would work ever for the right;

I would serve Thee with all my might;

Therefore, to Thee I come.

Verse 4

Just as I am, young, strong, and free,

To be the best that I can be 

For truth, and righteousness, and Thee,

Lord of my life I come.

Verse 5

With many dreams of fame and gold,

Success and joy to make me bold,

But dearer still my faith to hold,

For my whole life, I come.

Verse 6

And for Thy sake to win renown,

And then to take the victor's crown,

And at Thy feet to cast it down,

O Master, Lord, I come.

Afterwards

Isn't it nice? Do you see how I mean that it's like Charlotte Elliott's hymn?

I even tried singing this hymn to Just As I am, and it works, for the most part; the last part doesn't work too well.

By the way, as I was getting ready to move on to the lyrics, I wasn't trying to rhyme; know, below, and show all rhyme, and it looks so corny. Sorry I'm not sorry.🤪

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
