Representative Text

1 Abundant salvation thro' Jesus I know;
Rich streams of refreshing from Calvary flow:
Believing his word, with rejoicing I see
The fountain of blessing is flowing for me!

Chorus:
Flowing for me, now flowing for me;
The fountain of blessing is flowing for me.

2 "Alive evermore! he's a Saviour indeed;
His fulness surpassing my uttermost need;
His bounty is "royal," exceeding my plea--
The fountain of blessing is flowing for me! [Chorus]

There's strength in temptation, the vict'ry to gain;
There's sunshine in darkness, and comfort in pain;
This "plenteous redemption" in Jesus is free--
The fountain of blessing is flowing for me! [Chorus]

4 The brightening waves of the river of peace,
And joy, fresh and sparkling, find happy increase:
All honor and glory, dear Saviour, to thee--
The fountain of blessing is flowing for me! [Chorus]
