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.
4
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.

Jesus spoke to me about trust again today. On my way to work, I started humming sounds of songs I knew and ones I was now forging till this song just came on my lips. I started humming this one too. It was the first line I could remember, but I knew the tune, so I searched for lyrics and started singing properly. Little did I Know that there was a reason for this song. I have it on repeat even as I write.
I trust no one with my life but God because He is faithful.
He will do this one too, He's not failed me before.

Praying this morning and the third verse of this song came mind. " False and full of sin I am though art full of truth and grace". Inspiring to read others comments.

You must watch the movie, Many Beautiful Things: The Life of Lilias Trotter, available on Prime Video. It’s where I learned about this hymn.

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.
