Jesus, I Come

G                     C        G
Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night,
         D              G
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
                   C            G
Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,
         D7      G
Jesus, I come to Thee;
C                            G
Out of my sickness, into Thy health,
D                  A7       D7
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
G                 C       G
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
         D7      G
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 blessèd 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.

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.
