Jesu, 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. |
Martin 107, Stanza 1 |

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 stay'd; All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head, With the shadow of thy wing. |
Martin 107, Stanza 2 |

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, chear 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. |
Martin 107, Stanza 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! |
Martin 107, Stanza 4 |
