The hymn “Just as I Am” was written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835. It was first published in the Christian Remembrancer in 1835. The music was later composed by William B. Bradbury in 1849. The hymn was inspired by a conversation Elliott had with a minister who told her to “Just come to him as you are”. For those of you who remember the Billy Graham crusades, this song was always sung at the end as people came down to the staging area in response to the gospel message.

It was originally the final verse of two longer hymns, “Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun” and “Glory to Thee, My God, This Night,” which he wrote for students at Winchester College. Ken’s original hymns were for private use, as many at the time believed only Scripture should be sung in church. The doxology was first published in a 1695 edition of a prayer manual Ken wrote for his students.
