Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Lover of my soul 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 Savior, 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 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.

Throughout the earth no rest is found, And falsehood's spirit wide has spread, And error boldly rears its head. 3 In these last days of sore distress Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness That pure we keep, till life is spent, Your holy Word and sacrament. 4 Lord Jesus, help, your Church uphold, For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold. Oh, prosper well your Word of grace, And spread its truth in ev'ry place. 5 Oh, keep us in your Word, we pray; The guile and rage of Satan stay! Oh, may your mercy never cease! Give concord, patience, courage, peace. 6 The cause is yours, the glory, too, So hear us, Lord, and keep us true. Your Word alone is our defense, The Church's glorious confidence. 7 Oh, grant that in your holy Word We here may live and die, dear Lord, And when our journey's ending here, Receive us into glory there.
