Author: Anonymous; Rev. Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 586 hymnals Topics: Longing for God or Christ Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, joy of loving hearts, Thou fount of life, Thou light of men, From fullest bliss that earth imparts We turn unfilled to Thee again, We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged has ever stood; Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee Thou art good, To them that find Thee, all in all, To them that find Thee, all in all. 3 We taste Thee, O Thou living bread, And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the fountainhead, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast, Glad, that Thy gracious smile we see, Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast, Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay, Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,388 hymnals Topics: Longing for God or Christ 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; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have 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. 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 me, 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. Used With Tune: REFUGE
