Text:

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.

 

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.

 

Will Thou not regard my call?

Will Thou not accept my prayer?

Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall –

Lo! on Thee I cast my care;

Reach me out, Thou gracious hand!

While I of thy strength receive,

Hoping against hope I stand,

Dying, and behold, I live.

 

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.

 

Planteous 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.
