Christ My Song - 1922
Blessed fountain, full of grace!
(Thomas Kelly/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Blessed fountain, full of grace!
"In that day there shall be a fountain opened ...
for sin and uncleanness." (Zechariah 13,1)
1. Blessed fountain, full of grace!
grace for sinners, grace for me;
to this source alone I trace
what I am, and hope to be: PDF - Midi
2. what I am, as one redeemed,
saved and rescued by the Lord;
hating what I once esteemed,
loving what I once abhorred:
3. what I hope to be, ere long,
when I take my place above;
when I join the heavenly throng;
when I see the God of love,
4. then I hope like him to be,
who redeemed his saints from sin,
whom I now obscurely see,
through a cloud that stands between.
5. When I see him as he is,
no corruption can remain;
such their portion who are his,
such the happy state they gain.
6. Blessed fountain, full of grace!
grace for sinners, grace for me;
to this source alone I trace
what I am, and hope to be.
