  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 be 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. Amin.
