202. Oh, Thou fountain of love

1 Oh, Thou fountain of love, Whose bleeding, dying move Erased my sin, Immanuel so dear, Thou fountain true and clear, Be Thou to my heart near, And flow within. 2 Oh, Lord who art above, Thou author of this love! Thou Lamb of God! With Thy most precious blood, That pure and cleansing flood, Hast Thou my freedom bought; Upon the cross. 3 My Saviour’s righteousness Is now my glorious dress Before my Lord. Thy Spirit and Thy blood To me redemption brought; In likeness of my God I serve His word. 4 He that condemneth me Likewise, shall also Thee, Jesus, despise. It is not I that lives, But my Lord Jesus gives Life to him who believes, Oh, God All-wise. 5 Oh, my Immanuel! Though Satan would compel Us all to die, Yet Thou art ever near; In conflicts most severe, With world and Satan here, Thou standest by. 6 Thou art my Light and Pow’r, My Joy and Life each hour, Redeemer blest! While pilgrim here I be, I lift mine eyes to Thee, My faith’s security, My soul’s true Rest! 7 Faith’s language this shall be Through all adversity: Faithful is God! In Christ, His Only Son, He dearly loved each one, Chose them to be His own, Ere man earth trod. 8 Worship and laud and praise In strength and clarity, O Lord, to Thee! Now feeble, verily, One day Thy praise shall be Unclouded, pure and free, Eternally!
