Trinity Hymnal ‎#282

282. Fountain of good, to own thy love

1 Fountain of good, to own thy love
Our thankful hearts incline;
What can we render, Lord, to thee,
When all the worlds are thine?

2 But thou hast needy brethren here,
Partakers of thy grace,
Whose names thou wilt thyself confess
Before the Father's face.

3 And in their accents of distress
Thy pleading voice is heard;
In them thou may'st be clothed and fed
And visited and cheered.

4 Thy face with rev'rence and with love
We in thy poor would see;
O may we minister to them,
And in them, Lord, to thee.

Amen.
