178. Jesus, Saviour of my Soul

1 Jesus, Saviour of my soul,
Let me to Thy refuge fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is nigh;
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past:
Safe into Thy haven guide.
Oh! receive, Oh! receive,
Oh! receive my soul at last.

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 defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing,
With the shadow of Thy wing.
