1. Oh, Thou fountain of love,
Whose bleeding, dying move
Erased my sin,
Immanuel so dear,
Thou fountain true and clear,
Be Thou to my heart near,
And flow within.
2. Oh, Lord who art above,
Thou author of this love!
Thou Lamb of God!
With Thy most precious blood,
That pure and cleansing flood,
Hast Thou my freedom bought;
Upon the cross.
3. My Saviour’s righteousness
Is now my glorious dress
Before my Lord.
Thy Spirit and Thy blood
To me redemption brought;
In likeness of my God
I serve His word.
4. He that condemneth me
Likewise, shall also Thee,
Jesus, despise.
It is not I that lives,
But my Lord Jesus gives
Life to him who believes,
Oh, God All-wise.
5. Oh, my Immanuel!
Though Satan would compel
Us all to die,
Yet Thou art ever near;
In conflicts most severe,
With world and Satan here,
Thou standest by.
6. Thou art my Light and Pow’r,
My Joy and Life each hour,
Redeemer blest!
While pilgrim here I be,
I lift mine eyes to Thee,
My faith’s security,
My soul’s true Rest!
7. Faith’s language this shall be
Through all adversity:
Faithful is God!
In Christ, His Only Son,
He dearly loved each one,
Chose them to be His own,
Ere man earth trod.
8. Worship and laud and praise
In strength and clarity,
O Lord, to Thee!
Now feeble, verily,
One day Thy praise shall be
Unclouded, pure and free,
Eternally!
Whose bleeding, dying move
Erased my sin,
Immanuel so dear,
Thou fountain true and clear,
Be Thou to my heart near,
And flow within.
