Verse 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 heaven guide,
Oh, receive my soul at last.
Verse 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 stay'd
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
