'Jesus I come' lyrics
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.
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 to 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 my self to dwell in thy love, Out of despair into raptures above, Upward for aye 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.
