Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,226 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 25:4 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 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. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

O Thou who driest the mourner's tear

Author: Moore Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 25:8 Lyrics: 1 O THOU who driest the mourner's tear, How dark this world would be, If, when deceived and wounded here, We could not fly to thee. 2 The friends who in our sunshine live, When winter comes, are flown; And he who has but tears to give, Must weep those tears alone. 3 But Christ can heal that broken heart, Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part, Breathes sweetness out of woe. 4 When joy no longer soothes or cheers, And e'en the hope that threw A moment's sparkle o'er our tears, Is dimmed and vanished too: 5 Oh, who could bear life's stormy doom, Did not his wing of love Come brightly wafting through the gloom, Our peace-branch from above. 6 Then sorrow, touched by him, grows bright, With more than rapture's ray; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day.
