All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cleanse from ev'ry sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee, spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Scripture: John 4:14 Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE
