Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Songs of Praise and Salvation #49 (1902) First Line: My soul has found a healing stream Refrain First Line: Happy strains that gladly tell Lyrics: 1 My soul has found a healing stream,
And sings in happy strains,
“There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins.”
Refrain:
Happy strains that gladly tell,
The great salvation; all is well,
Come, magnify the Lord with me,
To him all glory ever be.
2 I toiled along a rugged road,
By burdens sorely pressed,
“I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Come unto me and rest.” [Refrain]
3 That blessed voice has mighty power
To satisfy and cheer;
“How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear.” [Refrain]
4 Then let me that dear name confess,
His faithful servant be;
“Shall Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?” [Refrain]
5 For, those who bear the cross for him,
From him a crown shall gain,
“There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [My soul has found a healing stream]
