Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,243 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

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.

I'll Thee extoll, I will thy name confess; Who wonders dost, thy counsels old are truth and faithfulness. 2 For Thou a city mad'st an heap; its wall in ruin lies; The strangers palace hast eras'd; nor ever shall it rise. 3 Therefore the mighty people shall great glory to Thee bear; The city of the terrible of nations shall Thee fear. 4 Because Thou to the poor hast been their strength, as they confess; A happy strength to helpless ones, in times of their distress. Thou art a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat; When blasts of dreadful ones like storms on walls in fury beat; And like fierce heat in places dry; 5 But Thou shalt quell their noise, And, as the heat by shady cloud, suppress their dreadful voice. 6 The LORD of hosts moreover will upon this mountain make, A sumptuous feast of fat things for all people to partake: A feast of wines presev'd on lees, for them He will prepare; Of fat and marrow-things, of wines that most refined are. 7 And in this mountain He destroy the face of cov'ring shall, Cast o'er all people, and the vail spread over nations all. 8 For ever He will swallow up death into victory. The Lord JEHOVAH tears shall wipe from ev'ry face and eye. His people's whole reproach from all the earth He'll take away. 9 Lo this our God! who will us save; for Him we waiting stay! This is the LORD on whom we have our expectation had; In his salvation we'll rejoyce, and be exceeding glad.

And face a frowning world, And face a frowning world, Then I can smile at Satan’s rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares, like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall! May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heav’n, my All. My God, my heav’n, my All, My God, my heav’n, my All, 4 May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heav’n, my All. There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heav’nly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. Across my peaceful breast, Across my peaceful breast, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast. Used With Tune: PISGAH

What ringing of a thousand harps bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation and all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes a thousand fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings on Canaan's happy shore; what knitting severed friendships up, where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle that brimmed with tears of late, no orphans left without a home, nor mourners desolate. 4 Bring near your great salvation, O Lamb for sinners slain; fill up the roll of your elect, then take your pow'r and reign! Appear, Desire of nations, your exiles long for home; show in the heav'n your promised sign; then, Prince and Savior, come.

Thou art my sun, and thou my shade, To guard my head by night or noon. Topics: Attributes of God Providence; God our Pleasure
