#770Keeper of my soul

Music: Morris
Tune: Wickham
Meter: 7s, D.
1
Keeper 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 (omit) soul at last!
2
Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee; Leave, O 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.
4
Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; Vile and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 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.
