Jesus, lover of my soul

by Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 489.

Verse 1

Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the billows near me 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!

Verse 2

Other refuge has 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.

Verse 3

Thou, O Christ, 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; Vile and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace.

Verse 4

Plenteous grace with Thee is found- Grace to pardon 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.
