Jesus, I Come
William T. Sleeper (1887) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 71:4
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 5
De mi tristeza y esclavitud, vengo, Jesús, vengo, Jesús; a tu alegría y a tu virtud, vengo, Jesús, a ti. De mi pobreza y enfermedad, a tu salud y rica bondad; a tu presencia, de mi maldad, vengo, Jesús, a ti.
Verse 6
De mi flaqueza y falta de luz, vengo, Jesús, vengo, Jesús; al eminente bien de tu cruz, vengo, Jesús, a ti. Del sufrimiento que es terrenal, a ti mi médico celestial; para ser libre de todo mal, vengo, Jesús, a ti.
Verse 7
De mi soberbia y ansiedad, vengo, Jesús, vengo, Jesús; para morar en tu voluntad, vengo, Jesús, a ti. De mi tristeza a tu gran amor, a ti, Jesús, mi consolador; para por siempre darte loor, vengo, Jesús, a ti.
Verse 8
De ese terror que la tumba da, vengo, Jesús, vengo, Jesús; a la brillante luz de tu hogar, vengo, Jesús, a ti. De la indecible profundidad, a tu redil de tranquilidad; a ver tu faz por la eternidad, vengo, Jesús, a ti.
