Jesus, Lover of my soul

Appears in 3,262 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high! Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the heaven guide, O receive me home at last. 2. Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, O 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! 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. Used With Tune: MARTYN
