Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #122a (1899) Topics: Christ Character of 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 Saviour, 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. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: REFUGE

Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, That gave my soul a hiding-place! 2 [Against the God who rules the sky I fought with hand uplifted high; Despised the mention of his grace, Too proud to seek a hiding-place. 3 But thus the eternal counsel ran: “Almighty love, arrest that man!” I felt the arrows of distress, And found I had no hiding-place. 4 Indignant Justice stood in view; To Sinai’s fiery mount I flew; But Justice cried, with frowning face, “This mountain is no hiding-place!” 5 Ere long a heavenly voice I heard, And Mercy’s angel-form appeared; She led me on, with placid pace, To Jesus, as my Hiding-place.] 6 Should storms of seven-fold thunder roll, And shake the globe from pole to pole, No flaming bolt could daunt my face, For Jesus is my Hiding-place. 7 On him almighty vengeance fell, That must have sunk a world to hell; He bore it for a chosen race, And thus became their Hiding-place. 8 A few more rolling suns, at most, Will land me on fair Canaan’s coast, Where I shall sing the song of grace, And see my glorious Hiding-place.

The garden scene begins his woes, And fetches agonising throes, And draws a bloody sweat. 3 His back with hardy stripes is hewed, Till flakes of gore, and streams of blood, Besmear the frighted ground! A scornful and a smarting crown His holy head is thrust upon, And thorns begird it round. 4 He smarts with nails that pierce his feet, And smarts with hanging all his weight Upon the accursèd tree! He smarts beneath a Father’s rod, And roars aloud, “Why, O my God, Hast thou forsaken me?” 5 [May all my Saviour’s love and smart, Be sweetly graven on my heart, And with me fast abide; And let me sing thy praises well, And love thee more than I can tell, And trust in none beside.] Languages: English
