Jesus Lover of My Soul

This is a classic text by Charles Wesley set to the music of Joseph Holbrook. The melody is beautiful. This has always been a favorite of mine since my youth.

Lyrics

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; Oh, 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.
