Jesus, Lover Of My Soul

Fernando Ortega


Jesus, lover of my soul, 
Let to thy bosom fly, 
While nearer waters roll, 
While the tempest still is high. 
Hide me , oh my Savior, hide, 
Till the storm of life is past, 
Safe into the haven guide 
Oh receive my soul at last. 

Other refuge have I none, 
Hangs 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 they wing. 

Thou, oh Christ art all I want; 
More than all in thee I fine; 
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. 

Plenteous grace witth theee 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, 
Me to eternity.
