Jesus, Lover Of My Soul

This has been judged to be the finest hymn in the English language. It was one of Charles Wesley's first hymns (he wrote around 6,500).

 5  5    5  4  -4 -4  -4
Je-sus, Lov-er of my soul, 

 5   5  6 -5   5  -4  4
let me to Thy bos-om fly. 

  5    5    5  4  -4  -4   -4
While the near-er wat-ers roll, 

  5    5   6   -5    5   -4   4
While the temp-est still is high! 

 6    6  6  6 -6   -6     6
Hide me, O my Sav-iour, hide, 

 6    6    6    6  -6  -6   6
Till the storm of life is past. 

 5   5  5  4  -4  -4  -4
Safe in-to the hav-en guide, 

 5   5   6   -5   5  -4   4
Oh, re-ceive my soul at last!

verse 2

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

verse 3

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;
Sprint Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
