JESUS, I COME
1. Out of my
bondage, sorrow, and night,
Jesus, I come!
Jesus, I come!
Into Thy freedom,
gladness, and light,
Jesus, I come to
Thee!
Out of my sickness
into Thy health,
Out of my want and
into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and
into Thy-self,
Jesus, I come to
Thee!
2. Out of my
shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come!
Jesus, I come!
Into the glorious
gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to
Thee!
Out of earth's
sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life's storm
and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to
jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to
Thee!
3. Out of unrest
and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come!
Jesus, I come!
Into Thy blessed
will to abide,
Jesus, I come to
Thee!
Out of myself to
dwell in Thy love,
Out of despair into
raptures above,
Upward for aye on
wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to
Thee!
4. Out of the fear
and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come!
Jesus, I come!
Into the joy and
light of Thy home,
Jesus, I come to
Thee!
Out of the depths
of ruin untold,
Into the peace of
Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious
face to behold,
Jesus I come to
Thee!
