Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: VoP1904 #31 (1904) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul. Let me to thy bosom fly, While the billows near me 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 defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, Boundless love 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 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. Tune Title: [Jesus, lover of my soul]

Chorus: Jesus our King passeth in The high, uplifted gates; There, by the throne of our God, For those who come he waits. He is the King of glory, He is the King of glory, The Lord of hosts, The mighty One, He is the King of Glory. 2 The gates of glory lifted are, But who has entered in-- A King in royal raiment clad The fear of serfs to win? But who, then, is the mighty One That angel choirs should sing? 'Tis he who conquered death and sin, The mighty Lord, the King. [Chorus] 3 The gates of glory lifted are, The King has entered there; Not royal sceptre his to wield, But love beyond compare. Ye men, look up, the broken reed Is healed with strength anew; The staff, despised, is clad in might, It is, O man, for you! [Chorus] 4 The gates of glory lifted are, What concourse draweth near? Who follow where the Master led In raiment bright appear. Behold, redeemed of earth are they, The purged and purified; By cross he bore the way appears To lead them to his side.
