Jesus, Lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high;
All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help comes from my King;
Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing.
Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah! Leave me not alone, still support and comfort me!
Thou, oh Life, the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee;
Stay Thou always in my heart, for Thou hast forgiven me.
Thou, O Christ,art all I want; more than all in Thee I find;
Aid the fallen,cheer the faint, with unending love so kind.
Just and holy is Thy name: fill me with Thy righteousness;
Draw me near Thee,this I pray, Thou art full of truth and grace.
Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sins;
Let the healing streams abound, hold and keep me pure within;
Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last!
Ending:
Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last!
