His are the thousand sparkling rills
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 His are the thousand sparkling rills
That from a thousand fountains burst,
And fill with music all the hills;
And yet he saith, "I thirst."
2 All fiery pangs on battlefields,
On fever beds where sick men toss,
Are in that human cry he yields
To anguish on the cross.
3 But more than pains that racked him then
Was the deep longing thirst divine
That thirsted for the souls of men;
Dear Lord! and one was mine.
4 O Love most patient, give me grace;
Make all my soul athirst for thee;
That parched dry lip, that fading face,
That thirst, were all for me.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Compassion of; Christ Example of; Christ Suffering of; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: John 19:28 Used With Tune: ELMHURST

There are three lessons I would write
Author: J. C. Schiller, 1759-1805 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There are three lessons I would write,
Three words as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
2 Have faith: where'er thy bark is driven
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth
Know this God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
3 Have hope: though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn.
4 Have love: not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
5 Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Faith, hope, and love, and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else wert blind. Topics: Brotherhood Universal; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Faith Hope and Charity; Universal Brotherhood; Graces, Christian; Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social; Man His Life and Experiences Used With Tune: ELMHURST

O Heavenly Fount of Light and Love
Author: William W. How Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O heavenly fount of light and love,
Adoring praise to Thee we pay;
Pour down, blest Spirit, from above
Fresh streams of grace this day.
2. Thou, o’er the everlasting Son
Hovering with wings of living light
Anointed Israel’s champion
To fight the awful fight.
3. At Pentecost Thou camest down
As sound of rushing wind went by,
With tongues of heavenly fire to crown
That glorious company.
4. Thou on each new-born child of grace
Dost now in hidden power descend
To strengthen for life’s weary race,
To comfort and defend.
5. Thou in each meek and lowly heart,
With streams of living waters bright,
Sweet Fount of strength and gladness art,
Fresh Spring of life and light.
6. Thee, Spirit blest, All-Holy One,
In songs of triumph we adore,
For, with the Father and the Son,
Thou reignest evermore. Used With Tune: ELMHURST Text Sources: Church Hymns, by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1871
