Just as I am, without one plea
Appears in 2,116 hymnals Used With Tune: ELLIOT
Just as I am, without one plea
From Hands That Would Our Land Deflower
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From hands that would our land deflower,
From selfish greed and grasping power,
From willful waste of freedom’s dower,
From pleasure’s flooding wave;
2 From all unrest by envy bred,
From all assaults by passion led,
From anarchy with banners red,
Good Lord, defend and save.
3 Let power and justice side by side
Bring civil peace and civic pride;
Still may the ancient order bide
Of law and liberty.
4 Keep firm the bond of brotherhood,
Keep green the memory of the good,
Defend the ramparts, where they stood,
With men who trust in thee. Used With Tune: ELLIOTT Text Sources: Suggested by Reginald Heber's "From foes that would the land devour"
From Hands That Would Our Land Deflower
