“Two persons have joined our Church and made a profession of being converted simply through my reading a hymn— “Jesus, lover of my soul.” They did not remember anything else in the hymn, but those words made such a deep impression upon their mind that they could not help repeating them for days afterwards. And then the thought arose, “Do I love Jesus?” Then they considered what strange ingratitude it was that He should be the lover of their souls and yet they should not love Him! Now I believe the Holy Spirit led me to read that hymn.” (CH Spurgeon, The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit #201) “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; Oh, receive my soul at last… 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. Just and holy is Thy Name, Source of all true righteousness; Thou art evermore the same, Thou art full of truth and grace.” (by Charles Wesley)
