  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 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.

  3.  Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
      Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
      Into the joy and light of Thy throne,
      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.
