1. Jesus, Loverlover of my soul,
1. Jesus, Loverlover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly.,
Let me to thy bosom fly.,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is nighhigh.
While the tempest still is nighhigh.
HidHide me, O my Savior, hide,
HidHide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;.
Till the storm of life is past;.
Safe into the haven guide;
Safe into the haven guide;
Oh, receive my soul at last.
Oh, receive my soul at last.
2. Other refuge have I none.;
2. Other refuge have I none.;
Hangs my helpless soul on thee:.
Hangs my helpless soul on thee:.
Leave, oh, leave me not alone;
Leave, oh, leave me not alone;
Still support and comfort me.
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed:;
All my trust on thee is stayed:;
All my help from thee I bring.
All my help from thee I bring.
Cover my defencelessdefenseless head
Cover my defencelessdefenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
With the shadow of thy wing.
