English Lyrics

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than allin 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 sinI am, Thou art full of truth and grace.

Verse 4

Plentous 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;
