190. The Stream That From the Fountain Flows
8s.
by T. Kelly
The stream that from the fountain flows,
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.
How blessèd to enjoy the gift,
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.
How blessèd is the hope of good,
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 Savior’s face.
“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)
“And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.” (Revelation 22:4)
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
