Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,303 hymnals Topics: Assurance of Grace 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, 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 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound, make and keep me whole within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee. Spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.
