 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 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 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 pleasure, Thine own,

      Jesus, I come to Thee!

Out of the depths of ruin untold,

Into the flock Thy love doth enfold,

Ever Thy glorious face to behold,

      Jesus, I come to Thee!
