[Verse 1:]
Jesus, Lover of my soul,
let me to Thy bosom fly.
While the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
[Chorus 1:]
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
till the storm of life is past.
Safe into Thy haven guide,
oh receive my soul at last.
[Verse 2:]
Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on Thee.
Please don't leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
[Chorus 2:]
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.
[Ending:]
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
till the storm of life is past.
Safe into Thy haven guide,
oh, receive my soul at last,
oh, receive my soul at last.
