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 Thyself, 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 perfect 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. |
