Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Fountain opened
Author: Cowper Appears in 2,473 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:9 First Line: There is a Fountain fill'd with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a Fountain fill'd with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plung'd beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see
That fountain in his day;
O may I there, tho' vile as he,
Wash all my sins away!
3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r
Till all the ransom'd church of God
Be sav'd, 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.
5 But when this lisping, stamm'ring tongue,
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save.
Fountain opened
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson (1735-1790) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,203 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:5-12 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 measure,
sung by flaming tongues above;
O the vast, the boundless treasure
of my God's unchanging love.
2 Here I make faith's affirmation:
thus far by thy help I've come,
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
take my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above. Topics: Lent (season); Praise of God; Salvation/Redemption Used With Tune: NETTLETON

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:7 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
2 Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever rolling stream,
bears all of us away;
we fly, forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be now our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Awake, My Soul, in Joyful Lays
Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 1,053 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:7 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
and sing your great Redeemer's praise.
He justly claims a song from me,
his loving-kindness is so free.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness is so free.
2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
yet loved me not withstanding all,
and saved me from my lost estate,
his loving-kindness is so great.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness is so great.
3 Through mighty hosts of cruel foes,
where earth and hell my way oppose,
he safely leads my soul along,
his loving-kindness is so strong.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness is so strong.
4 So when I pass death's gloomy vale,
and life and mortal pow'rs shall fail,
O may my last expiring breath
his loving-kindness sing in death.
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
his loving-kindness sing in death.
5 Then shall I mount, and soar away
to the bright world of endless day;
there shall I sing, with sweet surprise,
his loving-kindness in the skies,
Loving-kindness, loving-kindness,
His loving-kindness in the skies.

There's a wideness in God's mercy
Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:5 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,
like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in his justice,
which is more than liberty.
2 There is no place where earth's sorrows
are more felt than in God's heaven:
there is no place where earth's failings
have such kindly judgment given.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of the mind:
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we should take him at his word;
and our lives be filled with glory
from the glory of the Lord. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in adoration and gratitude; God in glory; God in grace and mercy; God Love of Used With Tune: ALL FOR JESUS

and, when wounded, healed thy wound;
sought thee wandering, set thee right,
turned thy darkness into light.

cease towards the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
yet will I remember thee.

deeper than the depths beneath,

when the work of grace is done;
partner of my throne shalt be:
say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?'

that my love is weak and faint;
yet I love thee, and adore;
