Flow on, Thou Fountain of my joy
Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: WHM #31 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
Flow on, Thou Fountain of my joy,
Through all the wilderness!
Thou seest what will work for good,
Thou knowest how to bless.
Get Thyself glory, O my God,
Be praised in my distress!
O, let Thy true, refining love
Its utmost pleasure see
And lift not up Thy faithful hand
Whate'er my cry may be,
Till I am strong for Thy renown,
And pure for use to Thee.
I know Thine eye has weighed the path
To Thy lost creature's bliss.
No comfort could supply the need
Of grief so sore as this; —
No joy could wake my heart so well
To Thy full preciousness.
Thou wast the Source of all that love
Which makes me glad no more, —
And Thou hast taken to Thyself
What was Thine own before.
Thine, and mine too, O Good to give,
O Faithful to restore.
That loving spirit is withdrawn
From every shade of sin;
And I in sympathy with her
A holier life begin.
Yes! to her new delight in Thee,
I, Lord, can enter in.
She with Thee, wheresoe'er Thou art,
In fellowship untold!
She in Thee, living by my Bread,
My hope, my heart's stronghold!
O! 'tis a song for days of grief,
Whate'er their depths unfold.
As one whose mother comforts him,
I will lift up my head.
No wound of Thine shall take the life
From words which Thou hast said,
And in the fulness of Thy truth
I shall be comforted.

Flow on, Thou Fountain of my joy
O! there is more than ear hath heard
Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: WHM #32 (1873) Meter: Irregular Lyrics:
O! there is more than ear hath heard,
Light of the World, in this Thy word!
It speaks the living soul to win;
It claims the loving heart within;
It tells us inly understood,
That Thou art God, that Thou art good.
Here our fallen nature raised we see, —
Here our lost glory shines in Thee, —
And man sees man in mortal strife,
A witness that to love is life.
Yes, for Thy sake — O strong to bear!
The secret of Thy strength was there.
'Twas not the power which gave us breath,
That urged Thee through the gates of death,
That bade Thee tread the press alone
To make the Father's message known.
It was Thy spirit's deep intent
It was Thy love for Him who sent;
It was His joy that bore Thee through,
And he who sees Thee sees Him too.
Yes, for Thy sake, O God Most High,
O! Man Most Meek, we too can die: —
Die to the death which Thou hast slain,
Die to the deepest source of pain,
And walk, by Love's sustaining store,
As seekers of our own no more.
We can hear more than ear hath heard,
Life of the World! in this Thy word;
And wastes shall break forth into song,
As in its power we pass along.
For lo! in hidden deep accord,
The servant may be like his Lord.
And Thy love our love shining through,
May tell the world that Thou art true,
Till those who see us see Thee too.
Scripture: Matthew 16:25 Languages: English
O! there is more than ear hath heard
