Hymn 64

Oh! Christ, He Is The Fountain

WEBB. 7s & 6s. D.

Oh! Christ, He is the fountain,
The deep, sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above.
There, to an ocean fullness,
His mercy doth expand;

Oh! I am my Beloved's,
And my Beloved's mine!
He brings a poor vile sinner
Into His "house of wine!"
I stand upon His merit,
I know no other stand;

The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of Grace.
Not at the crown He giveth,
But on His pierced hand;

And glory, glory dwelleth
In my Immanuel's land.

Not e'en where glory dwelleth
In my Immanuel's land.

The Lamb is all the glory
Of my Immanuel's land.

Oh! Christ, He is the fountain
