Author: Arranged Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #65 (1904) First Line: Fountain of good, to own thy love Refrain First Line: Just a cup of water to the thirsting Lyrics: 1 Fountain of good, to own thy love
Our thankful hearts incline;
What can we render, Lord, to thee,
When all the worlds are thine?
All that we have thy mercy and thy love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed.
Chorus:
Just a cup of water to the thirsting,
Or a word of cheer to souls distrest;
'Tis enough to know that, in the giving,
Ev'ry act by thee is blest.
2 Help us, O Lord, thy yoke to wear,
And joy to do thy will;
Each others burdens gladly bear
And love's sweet law fulfill.
All that we have thy mercy and thy love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed. [Chorus]
3 Thy face, with rev'rence with love,
We in thy poor would see;
And while we minister to them,
Would do it as to thee.
All that we have thy mercy and thy love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed. [Chorus]
4 Do thou, O Lord, our gifts accept,
And with thy blessing speed;
Bless us in giving, greatly bless
Our gifts to them that need.
All that we have thy mercy and love
Upon us has bestowed;
All that we give is giving unto thee
From whom all blessings flowed. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Fountain of good, to own thy love]
What Can We Render?
