Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,242 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:8 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 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.

Psalm 17

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 102 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove Lyrics: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove My faith, my patience, and my love: When men of spite against me join, They are the sword, the hand is thine. Their hope and portion lies below: 'Tis all the happiness they know, 'Tis all they seek; they take their shares, And leave the rest among their heirs. What sinners value I resign; Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine: I shall behold thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness. This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere: When shall I wake and find me there? O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God! And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Savior's image rise.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Lord, hear the right, attend my cry Lyrics: 1Lord, hear the right, attend my cry, unto my pray’r give heed, That doth not in hypocrisy from feigned lips proceed. 2And from before thy presence forth my sentence do thou send: Toward these things that equal are do thou thine eyes intend. 3Thou prov’dst mine heart, thou visit’dst me by night, thou didst me try, Yet nothing found’st; for that my mouth shall not sin, purpos’d I. 4As for men’s works, I, by the word that from thy lips doth flow, Did me preserve out of the paths wherein destroyers go. 5Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide in those thy paths divine, So that my footsteps may not slide out of those ways of thine. 6I called have on thee, O God, because thou wilt me hear: That thou may’st hearken to my speech, to me incline thine ear. 7Thy wondrous loving-kindness show, thou that, by thy right hand, Sav’st them that trust in thee from those that up against them stand. 8As th’ apple of the eye me keep; in thy wings shade me close 9From lewd oppressors, compassing me round, as deadly foes. 10In their own fat they are inclos’d; their mouth speaks loftily. 11Our steps they compass’d; and to ground down bowing set their eye. 12He like unto a lion is that’s greedy of his prey, Or lion young, which lurking doth in secret places stay. 13Arise, and disappoint my foe, and cast him down, O Lord: My soul save from the wicked man, the man which is thy sword. 14From men, which are thy hand, O Lord, from worldly men me save, Which only in this present life their part and portion have. Whose belly with thy treasure hid thou fill’st: they children have In plenty; of their goods the rest they to their children leave. 15But as for me, I thine own face in righteousness will see; And with thy likeness, when I wake, I satisfy’d shall be.
