Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #104b (1917) Lyrics: 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 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.
4 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. Topics: Christ Grace of Christ; Christ Love of; Christ Refuge; The Godhead The Son; Jesus (See also Christ) Refuge; Sea Storms at ; Prayer For Deliverance; Storms Of Life; Refuge Christ, our ; Grace Abounding of; Grace Of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH
