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!

This song is such a blessing. The Lord reminded me of this song on my way to work today, I looked it up and began declaring each line, making it my prayer. In ourselves nothing good dwells but in the Lord there is joy and abundance.

Out of life's storms and into thy balm, Jesus I come to Thee!!

For three nights in my dreams and while awake I will find myself singing this song. It has so ministered to my soul.


Bruce Blanchard

I had always thought of this as a song of invitation but when my dad died I began to see it in a whole new way. Once again this song has ministered to me at the death of my wife of 44 years. This song speaks of what we are leaving behind on this earth and what we are gaining as we enter into Heaven.

I came in contact with this song in 2007 and it has been a great inspiration to me. It makes me to see my emptiness always, and my fullness in Christ. I will continue to sing it, trusting that the message of the song will become a whole reality in my life.


Blake

A song not just for unbelievers but believers who have allowed the enemy to gain control..."out of my bondage and into His light... Jesus I come!"

This song draws me closer to my dear Jesus.

It made my day. To God be all the glory.

This song is my spiritual diet. It keeps me focused and committed to serve God and humanity with absolute humility.

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!
