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 storm 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 pleasure, Thine own,
    Jesus, I come to Thee!
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the flock Thy love doth enfold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
    Jesus, I come to Thee!

I just got home to Kenya from attending and speaking at the Lausanne Global Work Forum in Manila, Philippines. Arrived to find that we've lost my big brother to a stroke. We buried him today. Driving back 4 hrs into the City just now, this song just burst out of my praise. Yes. To His comfort, we come.

I was reading Psalm 130 and it triggered this hymn. I find it so comforting as I have been feeling rather down in the dumps lately.

This is an inspirational, hope raising and faith building hymn.

Edgar White This Song Is So Inspiring It Gives Me Such An Assurance of My Eter

Lauderhill, FL, United States

It is so good trusting and leaning on his everlasting arms knowing that in spite of all our struggles Christ never leave His children to perish; trusting Him I can never never lose my way.

Awesome.. I just came across this now and it is just prophetic, my prayer a few minutes ago.

I discovered this beautiful song from a book "The gentle breeze of Jesus" by Mel and Nona Tari.

Stanza 4 is re-translated:

4. Out of the might of death of the foe,

Jesus, I come! Jesus, I come!

Into the life that Christ does bestow,

Jesus, I come to Thee!

Out of the hopeless, endless abyss,

Into the home of refuge and bliss,

E'er to behold Thy face, glorious;

Jesus, I come to Thee!
