Complete lyrics:

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, 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.

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.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to pardon 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.

Considering the fact that these words have several melodies set to them, I think this is one of the greatest hymns ever written. I rest my eternity on the simple truth - Jesus loves me.

I have several old songs on my channel if you like this kind of music.

@eurasianchica Sure (:

@mashafasha5 Hey, before we continue this do you mind if I ask if you are really interested in learning? I don't mean any offense, but there are a lot of people that are commenting just trying to start a fight. If you are actually interested though I would love to continue, and perhaps we can do this with message so as not to clog up the comments here? Thanks :)

@eurasianchica I find it difficult believing the veracity of a book written two thousand years ago. Just because it says it's the word of god it doesn't mean it's the word of god.

[eurasianchica]

@mashafasha5 I know because in the Bible there lists two options, heaven and hell, which are both eternal, and it says that heaven is better than hell. :)

@Thehuskarl And what comes next?

[eurasianchica]

@mashafasha5 Because we get eternity either way, and eternity in heaven is better than eternity in hell. :)
