Text:"Jesus, Lover of My Soul"
Tune:[Jesus lover of my soul]
Composer:J. R. M.

58. "Jesus, Lover of My Soul"

1 Jesus lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly;
While the waters 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.

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 stay'd
All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head,
With the shadow of thy wing.
