Fount of Blessing

Hymnal: JW1878 #191 (1879) First Line: Come, thou fount of every blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount--I'm fixed upon it, Mount of thy redeeming love. 2 Here I'll raise mine Ebenezer; Hither by thy help I'm come; And I hope, by thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace, how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it-- Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart; oh, take and seal it! Seal it for thy courts above. Languages: English

Give in Faith

Hymnal: JW1878 #192 (1879) First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Thinking not 'tis thrown away; God himself saith thou shalt gather It again some future day. Cast thy bread upon the waters, Wildly though the billows roll; They but aid thee as thou toilest Truth to spread from pole to pole. 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Why wilt thou still doubting stand? Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow'st with liberal hand. Give, then, freely of thy substance-- O'er this cause the Lord doth reign; Cast thy bread, and toil with patience, Thou shalt labor not in vain. Languages: English

Following Jesus

Hymnal: JW1878 #193 (1879) First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be! Perish, every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition; God and heaven are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Savior, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue, Oh! while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me Show thy face, and all is bright.

Joy at the cross

Hymnal: JW1878 #194 (1879) First Line: Sweet the moments, rich in blessing Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross I spend; Life, and health, and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying friend Love and grief, my heart dividing, With my tears his feet I'll bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. 2 Truly blessed in this station, Low before his cross to lie, While I see divine compassion Beaming in his gracious eye. Here I'll sit, forever viewing Mercy streaming in his blood; Precious drops my soul bedewing, Plead and claim my peace with God. Languages: English

Silently the shades of evening

Hymnal: JW1878 #195 (1879) Lyrics: 1 Silently the shades of evening Gather round our chapel door; Silently they bring before us Faces we shall see no more. 2 Oh, the lost, the unforgotten!
