1. Jesus, lover of my soul,Let me to thy bosom flyWhile the nearer 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;Oh, 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 defenceless headWith 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;Vile and full of sin I am;Thou art full of truth and grace.
