Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,315 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, 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,
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 defenceless 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. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Forgiveness; Future hope; God in grace and mercy; God Protection of; Lent; Penitence; Proper 6 Year C; Proper 9 Year A; Sin; The Fourth Sunday before Lent Year B; The Third Sunday of Lent Year A Scripture: Psalm 7:1 Used With Tune: LITTLE HEATH
