3. No preparation can I make,  
3. No preparation can I make,  
My best re-solves I only break,
My best resolves I only break,
Yet save me for Thine own name's sake,  
Yet save me for Thine own name's sake,  
And take me as I am!
And take me as I am!

1. Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;
Unless Thou help me, I must die:
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And 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!

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!
