Lyrics

Verse 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the raging 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. 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 stayed, All my help from Thee I bring Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. Verse 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, All in 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.
