  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 Saviour, 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 defenceless head
    With the shadow of thy wing.
  3. 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. A-men.
