  • Jesus lover of my soul
    Let me to Thy bosom fly
    While the nearer waters roll
    While the tempest still is high

    Jesus lover of my soul
    Let me to Thy bosom fly
    While the nearer waters roll
    While the tempest still is high

    My Savior hide, Savior hide
    Till the storm of life pass
    Safe into the heaven's guide
    And receive my soul at last
    And receive my soul at last

    My Savior hide, Savior hide
    Till the storm of life pass
    Safe into the heaven's guide
    And receive my soul at last
    And receive my soul at last

    Plenteous grace with Thee is found
    Grace to cover all my sins
    Let the healing streams abound
    Make and keep me pure within

    Plenteous grace with Thee is found
    Grace to cover all my sins
    Let the healing streams abound
    Make and keep me pure within

    I say, your heart in your heart
    Till the storm of happiness

    Send it to the heaven's god

    And receive my soul at last
    And receive my soul at last

    My Savior hide, Savior hide
    Till the storm of life pass
    Safe into the heaven's guide
    And receive my soul at last
    And receive my soul at last

    (Jesus is the lover of my soul)

    (He's the lover of my soul)

    (He's the lover of my soul)
    (He's the lover of my soul)

    (He's the lover of my soul)
    (He's the lover of my soul)
    (He's the lover of my soul)
    (He's the lover of my soul)
    (Jesus, is the lover of my soul)

    Jesus, is the lover of my soul, Jesus, is the lover of my soul
    (Jesus, is the lover of my soul) Writer/s: EDWIN HAWKINS, EDWIN R. HAWKINS
