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.
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.

Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, 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.
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, 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.

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

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.
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.

For me to get into this hymn, I needed to sing it over and over in a quiet place. The Spirit showed me Christ in a double way. First, Christ is the one who loves my soul in the hardships of life (verses 1-2). He is my refuge who supports and comforts when all becomes so difficult. Second, when the corruption of my nature seems so present, Christ is the only One I want, and He is more than all I need to be healed and set free (verses 3-4)! I can cry to Him when the situations of life are hard from without; I can abide in Him when I realize how terrible I am within! He is sufficient in every way!

This hymn expresses in powerful words our helplessness and our God's sufficient grace in Christ to meet these needs

The tune expresses the writer's helplessness in himself and his trust in the Lord. The moment I hears it, it "sends" me "directly" to the Lord Himself.

Because it helps me express my love in song, to my first love Jesus Christ, who is my Savior, Lord, and King.
Because it sounds very nice when I sing it.
Simply beautiful.
