|
| 1 | The stream that from the fountain flows, | 1 John 4:9 |
| The fountain of eternal love, |
| Imparts its virtue as it goes, |
| A gift all other gifts above: |
| 'Tis life and peace divinely given, |
| The love of God come down from heaven. |
|
| 2 | How blessèd to enjoy the gift, | 1 Peter 2:3; Ephesians 3:19; Song of Solomon 6:3; Song of Solomon 7:10 |
| To taste of mercy here below; |
| In humble thankfulness to lift |
| Our hearts to Him whom now we know. |
| To know His love, how great it is, |
| To own and feel that we are His. |
|
| 3 | How blessèd is the hope of good, | Titus 2:13; Matthew 26:28; 1 Timothy 1:15; 1 Peter 1:19; Ephesians 2:8; Revelation 22:4; 1 John 3:2 |
| The good that without measure is, |
| Of seeing Him who shed His blood |
| To save us and to make us His. |
| Redeemed by blood and saved by grace, |
| We look to see the Saviour's face. |
