Author: Frederick William Foster Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #616 (1995) First Line: The springs of salvation from Christ, the Rock Lyrics: 1 The springs of salvation from Christ, the Rock, bursting
and flowing throughout all the world’s wilderness
bring life and salvation to those who are thirsting
to drink from this spring of salvation by grace;
as streams through the desert refresh the ground
and make land once barren with green abound,
the pow'r of his Spirit, our cold hearts o’erflowing,
renews us for service with lives bright and glowing.
2 “I’ll bless you, and you shall be set for a blessing!”
Thus said God, the Lord, to his servant of old;
O may we, in grace and in number increasing,
through work show our faith and in service be bold;
upon your truth founded, we shall not move,
let us ever follow, and fearless prove;
so shall we in doctrine, in word and behavior,
to ev'ryone witness that Christ is our Savior. Topics: Spread of the Gospel; Journey; Life in Christ; Salvation; Spread of the Gospel Scripture: Genesis 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: SPRINGS OF SALVATION
