FOUNTAIN of life and all my joy,
By A Collection of Hymns

      6-8s.
      1 FOUNTAIN of life and all my joy,
      Jesus, thy mercies I embrace;
      The breath thou giv'st, for thee employ,
      And wait to taste thy perfect grace;
      No more forsaken and forlorn,
      I bless the day that I was born.

      2 Preserved through faith by power divine,
      A miracle of grace I stand!
      I prove the strength of Jesus mine!
      Jesus, upheld by thy right hand,
      Though in my flesh I feel the thorn,
      I bless the day that I was born.

      3 Weary of life, through inbred sin,
      I was, but now defy its power;
      When as a flood the foe comes in,
      My soul is more than conqueror;
      I tread him down with holy scorn,
      And bless the day that I was born.

      4 Come, Lord, and make me pure within,
      And let me now be filled with God!
      Live to declare I'm saved from sin:
      And if I seal the truth with blood,
      My soul, from out the body torn,
      Shall bless the day that I was born.
