Jesus, lover of my soul (new tune)

Posted on by

I forgot to add this to my post yesterday about the University Conference. Which is probably a good thing, because it was so long as it was!

Anyway, after the group times in the evening I enjoyed singing with the sisters, and one evening we sung “Jesus Lover of My Soul” according to the new tune. I thought I’d post it for you, but hymnal.net, my go-to place for hymns and melodies, only had the original tune.

So I did a search on YouTube and eventually found this šŸ™‚

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 Savior, 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, 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.

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;
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.
