Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing (Fuente de la vida eterna)
Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790; Tomás M. Westrup, 1837-1909 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,201 hymnals Scripture: John 15:1-8 First Line: Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing (Fuente de la vida eterna) Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount– I'm fixed upon it–
Mount of God's unchanging love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by thy help I've come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above.

1 Fuente de la vida eterna
y de toda bendición,
ensalzar tu gracia tierna
quiere nuestro corazón.
Tu piedad inagotable,
abundante en perdonar;
único ser adorable,
gloria a ti debemos dar.
2 De los cánticos celestes,
te quisiéramos cantar,
entonados por las huestes
que lograste rescatar.
Almas que a buscar viniste,
porque les tuviste amor,
de ellas te compadeciste,
con tiernísimo favor.
3 Toma nuestros corazones,
llénalos de tu verdad;
de tu Espíritu los dones
y de toda santidad.
Guíanos en obediencia,
humildad, amor y fe,
nos ampare tu clemencia;
Salvador propicio sé. Topics: Alabanza a Dios; Praise of God; Call to Worship; Llamado a la Adoración; Grace; Gracia; Mercy; Misericordia Used With Tune: NETTLETON

"The wondrous Cross"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,995 hymnals Scripture: John 15:13 First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 His dying crimson, like a robe,
Spreads o'er his body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.
5 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Christ Agony of; Christ Blood of; Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Prince of Glory; Christ Sufferings of; Consecration Of Self; Cross of Christ Taking; Christ Compassion of Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (OLD)

in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away his fear.

and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but, when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Devotion; Jesus Name; Jesus Names and images for Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Have spurned, to-day, the voice divine,
Now Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let Him no more lie down in sin.

Ere through the world our way we take;
Till, in the ocean of Thy love,
We lose ourselves in heaven above. Used With Tune: [Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear]

O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,367 hymnals Scripture: John 15:7-11 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed,
how sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Topics: Confession of Sin; Consolation; Lamb of God; Lent; Longing for God; Personal Petition Used With Tune: CAITHNESS
