Sheet music

  1. 1Jesus, 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 be past;Safe into the haven guide;Oh, receive my soul at last.
  2. 2Other 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 headWith the shadow of Thy wing.
  3. 3Thou, 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:Vile, and full of sin am I,Thou art full of truth and grace.
  4. 4Plenteous grace with Thee is found,Grace to cover all my sin;Let the healing stream 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.
