Out of my self 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. --- 1 De mi tristeza y esclavitud, vengo, Jesús, vengo, Jesús; a tu alegría y a tu virtud, vengo, Jesús, a ti.
