Author: William T. Sleeper Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #155 (1908) First Line: Out of my bondage, sorrow and night Lyrics: 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 storms 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 light of my 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. Topics: Consecration; Repentance; Submission-Surrender Languages: English Tune Title: Out of my bondage, sorrow and night]
