Fountain of grace, rich, full, and free

James Edmeston • English

Primary Scripture: Joshua 23:14

Verse 1

Fountain of grace, rich, full and free, What need I, that is not in thee? Full pardon, strength to meet the day, And peace which none can take away.

Verse 2

Doth sickness fill my heart with fear, 'Tis sweet to know that thou art near; Am I with dread of justice tried, 'Tis sweet to know that Christ hath died.

Verse 3

In life, thy promises of aid Forbid my heart to be afraid; In death, peace gently veils the eyes: Christ rose, and I shall surely rise.

Verse 4

Amen.
