Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to Your presence fly,
While the gathering waters roll,
While the tempest still is high:
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last.
Other refuge have I none,
All my hope in You I see:
Leave, O, leave me not alone;
Still support and strengthen me.
All my trust on You is stayed,
All my help from You I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Your wing.
You, O Christ, are all I want;
More than all in You I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Your name,
I am all unworthiness;
False and full of sin I am,
You are full of truth and grace.
Boundless grace with You is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me clean within.
Living fountain now impart
All your life and purity;
Spring forever in my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
