Fountain of Mercy, God of Love

Author: Alice Flowerdew Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1556 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Fountain of mercy, God of love, Whose gifts all creatures share, The rolling seasons as they move Proclaim Thy constant care. 2. When in the bosom of the earth The sower hid the grain, Thy goodness marked its secret birth, And sent the early rain. 3. The spring’s sweet influence, Lord, was Thine, The seasons knew Thy call; Thou mad’st the summer sun to shine, The summer dews to fall. 4. The gifts of mercy from above Matured the swelling grain; And now the harvest crowns Thy love, And plenty fills this plain. 5. O ne’er may our forgetful hearts O’erlook Thy bounteous care, But what our Father’s hand imparts Still own in praise and prayer. 6. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JAMES

Fountain of mercy, God of love

Author: Alice Flowerdew, 1759-1830 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #53 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fountain of mercy, God of love, how rich Your bounties are! The rolling seasons, as they move proclaim Your constant care. 2 When in the bosom of the earth the sower hid the grain, Your goodness marked its secret birth, and sent the early rain. 3 You gave the influence of spring; the plants in beauty grew; the summer came it sun to bring, and mild refreshing dew. 4 These various mercies from above matured the swelling grain; a yellow harvest crowns Your love, and plenty fills the plain. 5 Seed-time and harvest, Lord, alone Your love on us bestows; let us not then forget to own from whom such blessing flows. 6 Fountain of love, our praise we bring; to You our songs we'll raise; and all created nature sing in glad exultant praise.
