There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #238 (1899) Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, though vile as he, Washed all my sins away, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved, to sin no more, Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Lies silent in the grave. Amen. Topics: Atonement Sufficient; Christ Fountain; Faith Justification by; Lent; Salvation By faith Languages: English Tune Title: COWPER

A glory gilds the sacred page

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #310 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun: It gives a light to every age, It gives, but borrows none. 2 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set. 3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine, For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 4 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of Him I love, Till glory break upon my view In brighter worlds above.

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #458 (1899) Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, Who rises With healing in His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let an unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens, Will give His children bread. 4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

O Lord, how full of sweet content

Author: William Cowper; Jeanne M. B. Guyon Hymnal: BWHT1899 #467 (1899) Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content Our years of pilgrimage are spent! Where'er we dwell, we dwell with Thee, In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To us remains nor place nor time; Our country is in every clime! We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 Could we be cast where Thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all. Amen. Topics: Patience; Peace Personal; Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #477 (1899) Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform, He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and will break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain. God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Amen.

O Lord, my best desire fulfil

Or tremble at the gracious hand That wipes away my tears? 3 No, let me rather freely yield What most I prize to Thee, Who never hast a good withheld, Or wilt withhold from me. 4 Thy favor, all my journey through, Thou art engaged to grant: What else I want, or think I do, 'Tis better still to want.

Afflicted at Thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail. 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint! Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where but with Thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor! 3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee. And Thou refuse that mourner's plea? Does not Thy word still fixed remain, That none shall seek Thy face in vain! 4 Poor though I am--despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

Cox Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation. With healing balm my soul He fills, And every faithless murmur stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel-host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and skyall living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom which could span, And power which formed creation's plan To God all praise and glory. 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth: By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; Within the kingdom of His might, Lo! all is just and all is right: To God all praise and glory. 4 The Lord is never far away, But, through all grief distressing, An ever-present help and stay, Our peace and joy and blessing; As with a mother's tender hand, He leads His own, His chosen band: To God all praise and glory. 5 Thus all my toilsome way along, I sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises; Be joyful in the Lord, my heart; Both soul and body bear your part: To God all praise and glory.

Cox, 1841-1864 Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives! no longer now Can thy terrors, Death, appal me; Jesus lives! by this I know From the grave He will recall me. Brighter scenes will then commence; This shall be my confidence. 2 Jesus lives! to Him the throne High o'er heaven and earth is given: I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven. God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence. 3 Jesus lives! for me He died; Hence will I, to Jesus living, Pure in heart and act abide, Praise to Him and glory giving. Freely God doth aid dispense; This shall be my confidence. 4 Jesus lives! I know full well, Naught from me His love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, Part me now from Christ for ever. God will be a sure Defence: This shall be my confidence. 5 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath, When I pass its gloomy portal. Faith shall cry, as fails each sense. "Lord, Thou art my Confidence!" Amen.
