97. Make Me, Lord, a Fount of Love

1 O make me, Lord, a fount of love,
A constant flow of loving deeds;
A friend to all my neighbors prove,
A helper to each one that needs.
A found of love, a fount of love,
O make me, Lord, a fount of love;
A found of love, a fount of love,
O make me, Lord, a fount of love.

2 O make me, Lord, a fount of good,
Dispensing blessings all around;
Be helpful to the weak I would,
And to the blind a guide be found.
A found of good, a fount of good,
O make me, Lord, a fount of good;
A found of good, a fount of good,
O make me, Lord, a fount of good.

3 O make me, Lord, a fount of joy,
A running stream of happiness;
My pow’rs to cheer I would employ
By helping those in deep distress.
A found of joy, a fount of joy,
O make me, Lord, a fount of joy;
A found of joy, a fount of joy,
O make me, Lord, a fount of joy.
