Lamb of God, I come to thee

Looking for a text with verse beginning "As Lazarus to the bosom of Abraham" and refrain ending "Lamb of God, I come to thee." Very lovely. Can anyone help me identify it?

Charlotte Elliott.

Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bid me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come to thee.

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 to thee.

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many conflicts many doubts,
Fightings and fears within, without
O Lamb of God, I come to thee.

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 to thee.

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 to thee.

Perhaps?

Lamb of God, I come to thee

Thank you. This does have the "Lamb of God" words that I mentioned, but the verses I heard begin "As (something) to (something)" like the one I quoted "As Lazarus to the bosom of Abraham ..," or "As the hart to the water brooks ...," something like that. "Just As I Am" also has a distinctive tune, but is not the one I am looking for.

I do greatly appreciate your taking time to try to help me. I truly do. Thank you.
