LyicsJesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly
While the billows near me roll,
While the tempest till is high:
Hide me, oh, my Savior hide,
Till the storm of life is past,
Safe into the haven guide,
Oh, 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.
Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
Boundless love in thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
Prince of Peace and Righteousness;
Most unworthy, Lord, I am,
Thou art full of love and grace.
Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sins;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let em take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
