JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
1. Jesus, lover of
my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom
fly,
While the nearer
waters roll,
While the tempest
still is high;
Hide me, O my
Savior hide,
Till the storm of
life is past;
Safe into the haven
guide;
O receive my soul
at last.
2. Other refuge
have I none,
Hangs my helpless
soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me
not alone,
Still support and
comfort me.
All my trust on
Thee is stayed,
All my help from
Thee I bring;
Cover my
defenseless head
With the shadow of
Thy wing.
3. Thou, O Christ,
art all I want;
More than all in
Thee I find;
Raise the fallen,
cheer the faint,
Heal the sick and
lead the blind.
Just and holy is
Thy name,
I am all
unrighteousness;
Vile and full of
sin I am,
Thou art full of
truth and grace.
4. Plenteous grace
with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all
my sin;
Let the healing
streams abound;
Make and keep me
pure within.
Thou of life the
fountain art.
Freely let me take
of Thee;
Spring Thou up
within my heart,
Rise to all
eternity.
