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 Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past;
Safe into the haven guide, Oh, receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah! 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 pardon 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.
