1 Broken heart, the fountain's open,
Christ hath died upon the tree,
All the pow'rs of hell are shaken,
Grace flows down from God to thee.
2 God Himself the Source--the Fountain,
Christ the Way the waters flow,
By the Spirit, down from heaven
To the thirsty heart below.
3 Now's the time--the time accepted,
Now to thee God's Light hath shone;
Christ God's love hath manifested,
He the finished work hath done.
4 By one righteousness completed,
Adam's life receives its doom;
Jesus Christ, in glory seated,
Everlasting life hath won.
5 Broken heart, the river's flowing,--
Haste! delay not! yet there's room;
Hear the word of God beseeching,--
"Whosoever thirsts may come."
