Jesus I Come


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 wanting and into Thy wealth, 
Out of my sin and into Thyself, 
Jesus, I come to Thee.

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 storms and into Thy calm, 
Out of distress into jubilant psalm, 
Jesus, I come to Thee.

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 forever on wings like a dove, 
Jesus, I come to Thee.

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.
