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 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 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
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
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 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
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 and rise to all eternity
And rise to all eternity
And rise to all eternity
