About this printable
Every stanza opens and closes the same way, which makes this text unusually kind to young writers still steadying their hand. The repetition builds muscle memory while the words stay simple and direct. A dependable choice for early copywork or a gentle devotional practice. 14 pages, 1/4-inch letters in manuscript print on dashed manuscript lines. Sheets included: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only. Charlotte Elliott, 1835. Public domain text.
ON THIS SHEET: Just as I am, without one plea, · But that Thy blood was shed for me, · And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee, · O Lamb of God, I come, I come! — Just as I am, and waiting not · To rid my soul of one dark blot, · To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, · O Lamb of God, I come, I come! — Just as I am, though tossed about · With many a conflict, many a doubt, · Fightings and fears within, without, · O Lamb of God, I come, I come! — Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; · Sight, riches, healing of the mind, · Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, · O Lamb of God, I come, I come! — Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, · Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; · Because Thy promise I believe, · O Lamb of God, I come, I come! — Just as I am, Thy love unknown · Has broken every barrier down; · Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone, · O Lamb of God, I come, I come! — Charlotte Elliott, 1835. LETTER SIZE: 1/4-inch. HANDWRITING: manuscript print. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only.
