Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,216 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation 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 is 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 defenseless 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. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Amen. Scripture: Hosea 14:1 Used With Tune: SOHO

How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. 3 Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come. 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 5 When we've been there a thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun.
