489. Jesus, Lover of My Soul

A            E
Jesus, lover of my soul,

A             E     A
Let me to thy bosom fly,

                  E
While the billows near me roll,

A                 E        A
While the tempest still is high;

A             D       A
Hide me, O my Savior, hide!

                  D       A
Till the storm of life is past;

              E
Safe into the haven guide,

A            E       A
O receive my soul at last!


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the billows near me 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,
O receive my soul at last!

[Verse 2]
Other refuge has I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on thee;
Leave O 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.

[Verse 3]
Thou, O Christ, 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;
Vile and full of sin I am;
Thou art full of truth and grace.

[Verse 4]
Plenteous grace with Thee is found-
Grace to pardon 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.
