Composer Commentary

I came across this minor key tune, listed simply as an "Early American Melody," in an old book of very easy piano hymn arrangements brought by a young student. I immediately thought that it would work well for the Gospel hymn, "Just As I Am." The recurring phrase, "O Lamb of God, I come," brought to mind one of my favorite hymns, "I Hear Thy Welcome Voice"—its refrain has the phrase, "I am coming, Lord, coming now to Thee." With its lovely major key melody, it provided a contrasting middle section for the anthem.
