Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#5

5. Under the Cross

1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.

Refrain:
Under the cross I lay my sins,
Under the cross they lie;
Under the cross I lay my sins,
Under the cross I’ll die.

2 Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last! [Refrain]

3 Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on thee,
Leave, O leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me. [Refrain]

4 All my trust on thee is stayed,
All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing! [Refrain]

5 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within. [Refrain]

6 Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity. [Refrain]
