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 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, ah! 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.
