Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #290b (1908) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the waters nearer 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!
2 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.
3 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.
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. Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer; Sixth Sunday after Trinity; Third Sunday after Epiphany; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
