My Soul! Weigh Not Thy Life

Author: Leonard Swain Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul! weigh not thy life Against thy heavenly crown, Nor suffer Satan’s deadliest strife To beat thy courage down. 2 With prayer and crying strong, Hold on the fearful fight; And let the breaking day prolong The wrestling of the night. 3 The battle soon will yield, If thou thy part fulfill; For, strong as is the hostile shield, Thy sword is stronger still. 4 Thine armor is divine, Thy feet with victory shod; And on thy head shall quickly shine The diadem of God! Used With Tune: BRIGHTON Text Sources: The Sabbath Hymn and Tune Book by Lowell Mason, Edwards A. Park and Austin A. Phelps (New York: Mason Brothers, 1859)

How Free The Fountain Flows

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How free the fountain flows Of endless life and joy! That spring, which no confinement knows, Whose waters never cloy! 2 How sweet the accents sound From the Redeemer’s tongue! "Assemble, all ye nations round, In one obedient throng. 3 "The Spirit bears the call To all the distant lands; The Church, the bride, reflects it back, While Jesus waiting stands. 4 "Ho, every thirsty soul, Approach the sacred spring; Drink, and your fainting spirits cheer, Renew the draught, and sing. 5 "Let all that will, approach; The water freely take; Free from Mine opening heart it flows, Your raging thirst to slake." 6 With thankful hearts we come To taste the offered grace; And call on all that hear to join The trial, and the praise.
