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
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
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

Alternate verses:
Wilt Thou not regard my call? Wilt Thou not accept my prayer?
Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall—Lo! on Thee I cast my care
Reach me out Thy gracious hand! While I of Thy strength receive
Hoping against hope I stand, dying, and behold, I live
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
False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace
