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 wanting 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 My Bondage," written by WT Sleeper (1887)
