Author: Rev. J. E. Rankin, D.D. Hymnal: CoP1898 #105 (1898) First Line: Out of my darkness into Thy light Refrain First Line: I come, Jesus, I come Lyrics: 1 Out of my darkness into Thy light,
Out of my weakness into Thy might;
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come;
Out of my error into Thy truth,
Out of my guessing into Thy sooth,
Out of my sickness into Thy youth,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come.
2 Out of my bondage and sorrow and strife,
Into Thy freedom, forgiveness and life;
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come;
Out of unrest to breathing Thy balm,
Out of my tumult into Thy calm,
Out of my woes to song and to psalm,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come.
3 Out of death’s horrors and madness and chains,
Into life’s comforts and glories and gains;
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come;
Out of sin’s guilt and terror and gloom,
Out of the region and shade of the tomb,
Here where the lost still find there is room,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come.
4 Out of my pride and perverseness of will,
Free from the void Thou only canst fill,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come;
Out of my will, my sov’reign to own,
Trusting Thy merits, Jesus alone,
Lately so lost, to crown and to throne,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come. Tune Title: [Out of my darkness into Thy light]
