The traditional hymn lyrics put to original music by Chas Hathaway.

Lyrics:

Jesus, lover of my soul,
While the nearer waters roll,
let me to Thy bosom fly,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Safe into the haven guide;

Other refuge have I none,
Leave, oh! leave me not alone,
hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
still support and comfort me.
all my help from Thee I bring;
with the shadow of Thy wing.

Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
more than all in Thee I find;
heal the sick, and lead the blind.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Let the healing streams abound;
grace to cover all my sin;
make and keep me pure within.
freely let me take of Thee;
rise to all eternity.

- Charles Wesley, 1740 (verses/lyrics rearranged some for this arrangement)
