63. Broken Heart! the Fountain's Open

8.7.8.7.
1
Broken heart! the fountain’s open,
 
Christ hath died upon the tree;
 
All the powers of hell are shaken,
 
Grace flows down from God to thee.
 
Christ has died upon the tree,
 
Grace flows down from God to thee,
 
Grace, free grace, flows down from God to thee.
2
God Himself, the Source, the Fountain,
 
Christ the Way the waters flow,
 
By the Spirit down from heaven,
 
To the thirsty heart below.
3
Now’s the time, the time accepted,
 
Now to thee God’s light hath shone:
 
Christ God’s love hath manifested,
 
He the finished work hath done.
4
By one righteousness completed,
 
Adam life received its doom;
 
Jesus Christ in glory seated,
 
Everlasting life hath won.
5
Broken heart! the river’s flowing,
 
Haste, delay not! yet there’s room,
 
Hear the Word of God beseeching,
 
"Whosoever thirsts may come."
