| 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 Saviour, hide | 5 |
| 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; | 10 |
| 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 defenceless head | 15 |
| With the shadow of thy wing. | |
| |
| Wilt thou not regard my call? | |
| Wilt thou not accept my prayer? | |
| Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall! | |
| Lo! on thee I cast my care! | 20 |
| Reach me out thy gracious hand | |
| While I of thy strength receive, | |
| Hoping against hope I stand, | |
| Dying, and behold I live! | |
| |
| Thou, O Christ, art all I want; | 25 |
| 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; | 30 |
| False 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, | 35 |
| 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! | 40 |
