“凡劳苦担重担的人,可以到我这里来,我就使你们得安息”(太 11:28)。
作者及诗歌介绍
这是一首近代最流行、最受人欢迎的福音号召圣诗之一,无论是从文学、教义、信徒灵性哪一方面来衡量,都堪称为杰作。原作者斯利珀 (事略参阅第226首)是美国公理会 (见第25首注①)侧重福音布道的牧师,他继所作的《必须重生歌》之后,又写出这首名歌。
这首诗共四节,其中有十三处“脱离”,九处“进入”,十六处“耶稣我来”。它号召信徒必须靠主脱离一切容易缠累我们的罪一捆绑、忧愁、黑暗、疾病、贫乏、罪恶,谦卑地来到主前,进入那自由、光明、喜乐、丰满,得以永远瞻仰主的荣颜。
曲作者斯特宾斯的事略参阅第21首。他说:“这是一首罕见的好诗。原作者如果知道在他去世之前该诗已经在美国国內外风靡一时,也必定会满意”。调名《耶稣我来 (JESUS I COME)》。最初词与曲同在1887年出版的第五期《福音圣诗》內,并以“我的上帝啊,求你救我” (诗71:4)为题。

英文音谱《Jesus,I come》
Out of my bondage sorrow and night,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come.
Into Your freedom, gladness and light
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of my sickness into Your health,
Out of my want and into Your wealth,
Out of my sin and into Yourself
Jesus I come to You.
Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come;
Into the joy and pleasure Your own,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the flock Your love doth enfold,
Ever Your glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of my sickness into Your health,
Out of my want and into Your wealth,
Out of my sin and into Yourself
Jesus I come to You.
Out of my bondage sorrow and night,
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come.
Into Your freedom, gladness and light
Jesus, I come to You.
Out of my sickness into Your health,
Out of my want and into Your wealth,
Out of my sin and into Yourself
Jesus, I come to You.
Jesus, I come to You.
Jesus, I come to You.
