I found this hymn a while ago while I was flipping through my hymnal. This isn't the modern song that we all know but the old traditional hymn that I'm sure none of you have heard of. I had to look for it on YouTube to hear what it sounded like. I fell in love.
Jesus Lover of My Soul
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.
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.
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,
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 defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing.
Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing.
Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
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.
Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity.
