Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly; While the raging billows roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, 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, O 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. |

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; Vile 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 me, 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. |
