Original text and translations

English text 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!
