This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  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!
