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.⁠Of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I Come, Jesus I come;
Into thy glorious gain of thy cross
Out of earth's sorrows into thy balm,
Out of life's storms and into thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
3.⁠Of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I Come, Jesus I come;
Into thy blessed will to abide
Out of myself to dwell in thy love,
Out of despair into raptures above,
Upwards for aye on wings like a dove,
Jesus I come to thee. Amen
