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 Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life be 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, 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 defenceless 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;

False 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 my pure within:

Thou of life the fountain art,

Freely let me take of Thee,

Spring Thou up within my heart,

Rise to all eternity.
