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.

I woke up with this song in my mind , I don't know what to do, it was as if all hell were loose, down casted, feeling of rejection and frustrations, no one to turn to but the song kept coming and after that I was strong and encouraged, no Sandee, thank you Jesus because the song minister to me

I have a covenant with God to release His Spirit before I come awake each night. I should be waken by sound of His Spirit with mine singing to His glory. That has been happening without fail. Just came awake now by this song bring sung by God's Spirit and mine. It's soothing to join them ding these beautiful lyrics. Reassuring of God's salving grace, reminding me of my worthlessness and salvation by God's grace and grace only. Thank you for great job of availing this soothing hymn.

I’ve been in a pit for a while now but I’m reminded even through my storms I can go straight to the Savior. I just have to love the living Christ, that’s all I can do!!
"But whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)
A great blessing in times of challenges and difficulty in getting to the other side. He has always seen me through. Believe He will also again take me/ us to the other side.

Jesus lover of my soul, those five (5) words makes it personal. The hymn is comforting now and will be at the time of our departure. I learned this hymn as a child, I can still hear the congregation singing this hymn. Thank you for posting this timeless hymn.

This is about passing into eternity but it also applies in every transition and struggle we may find ourselves. Passing through the death of a marriage or separation from a place of hypocrits or leaving behind the world, Jesus alone is our refuge and strength.
