Jesus I Come

This song is not my own, but oh, how often I should be singing its words...

Out of my bondage, sorrow and night,
Jesus I come; Jesus I come.
Into They 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.
