Fountain of mercy, God of love

Author: Mrs. Alice Flowerdew, 1759-1801 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fountain of mercy, God of love, How rich Thy bounties are! The rolling seasons, as they move, Proclaim Thy constant care. 2 When in the bosom of the earth The sower hid the grain, Thy goodness marked its secret birth, And sent the early rain. 3 The spring's sweet influence, Lord, was Thine; The plants in beauty grew; Thou gav'st refulgent suns to shine, And the refreshing dew. 4 These various mercies from above Matured the swelling grain; A kindly harvest crowns Thy love, And plenty fills the plain. 5 We own and bless Thy gracious sway; Thy hand all nature hails; Seed-time nor harvest, night nor day, Summer nor winter, fails.

Ye Humble Souls That Seek the Lord

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 157 hymnals First Line: Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord Lyrics: 1. Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord, Chase all your fears away; And bow with rapture down to see The place where Jesus lay. 2. Thus low the Lord of life was brought; Such wonders love can do: Thus cold in death that bosom lay, Which throbbed and bled for you. 3. A moment give a loose to grief, Let grateful sorrows rise, And wash the bloody stains away, With torrents from your eyes. 4. Then raise your eyes, and tune your songs, The Savior lives again: Not all the bolts and bars of death The conqueror could detain. 5. High o’er the angelic bands He rears His once dishonored head; And through unnumbered years He reigns, Who dwelt among the dead. 6. With joy like His shall every saint His vacant tomb survey; Then rise with His ascending Lord To realms of endless day.
