Out of my slavery, sorrow, and night (Jesus I Come)

Author: William T. Sleeper (Mod. R.Mc.)
Music: G. Stebbins (Jesus I come)



Out of my slavery, sorrow, and night,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Your freedom, gladness, and light,
Jesus, I come to You;
Out of my sickness, into You health,
Out of my want and into Your wealth,
Out of my sin and into Yourself,
Jesus, I come to You.

Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the glorious gain of Your cross,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of earth’s sorrows into Your balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Your calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to You.

Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Your blessèd will to abide,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of myself to dwell in Your love,
Out of despair into raptures above,
Upward I soar on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to You.

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the joy and light of Your throne,
Jesus, I come to Your.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Your sheltering fold,
Ever Your glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to You.
