50*. Broken Heart! the Fountain's Open

8,7.
by A.P. Cecil
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.
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
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’s life receives its doom;
 
Jesus Christ, in glory seated,
 
Everlasting life hath won.
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
5
Broken heart! the river’s flowing,
 
Haste! delay not! yet there’s room;
 
Hear the word of God beseeching,
 
"Whosoever thirsts may come."
“And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.” (Luke 14:22)
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17)
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.” (John 7:37)
