Jesus, lover of my soul

lyricist: Charles Wesley
Composer: Simeon Butler Marsh

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.

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 defenseless head

With the shadow of Thy wing.

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.

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.
