Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night,

|
| 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! |
