Jesus, lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,222 hymnals 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, oh, 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.

O'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea, day by day his voice is sounding, saying, 'Christian, follow me'. 2 As, of old, Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred, leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store; from each idol that would keep us, saying, 'Christian, love me more'. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these.' 5 Jesus calls us! By your mercy, Saviour, make us hear your call, give our hearts to your obedience, serve and love you best of all.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye who the name of Jesus bear, his sacred steps pursue; and let that mind which was in him be also found in you. 2 His greatness he for us abased, for us his glory veiled; in human likeness dwelt on earth, his majesty concealed: 3 Nor only as a man appears, but stoops a servant low; submits to death, nay, bears the cross, in all its shame and woe. 4 Hence God this generous love to all with honours just hath crowned, and raised the name of Jesus far above all names renowned: 5 That at this name, with sacred awe, each humble knee should bow, of hosts immortal in the skies, and nations spread below.
