LyicsJesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the billows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, 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, ah! Leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stay'd,
All my help in thee I find;
Cover my defenceless head,
Cheer the sorrows of my mind.
Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Let me feel them flow within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
