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.
