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 Thy 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. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: JESUS, I COME
Jesus, I Come
