Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,384 hymnals Topics: Need for Christ or God Lyrics: 1 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 Saviour, hide, Till the storm of Life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 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. 3 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. 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. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 25:4 Used With Tune: REFUGE

Ashamed of thee whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days! 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star: He sheds the beams of light Divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon: 'Tis midnight with my soul till he, Bright Morning-Star, bid darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heav'n depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his Name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then — nor is my boasting vain — Till then I boast a Saviour slain; And O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me.
