Jesus, I Come to Thee

William T. Sleeper 1887
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
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 into jubilant psalm
Jesus, I come to Thee
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
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

This Songs lyrics touch my heart this day, I’ ve been having quite a bad time with health issues lately. Could you please pray for me? Thanks. I love the things you write, I’m partial to the type of hymns and calming voice you have. Everytime I’ve been to see you sing I’ve come away touched and renewed! Thank You Tia! May the Lord Bless you and Keep you forever Safe From the Storms of Life! Love you Mary

Thank you Mary! I will pray for you as you walk through those challenges…that you would find “the peace of His Sheltering Fold.” Aren’t those lyrics so beautiful?
Thank you for your beautiful encouragement, sister. Know that you’re prayed for.
Love, Tia
