O Fount of Good, for All Your Love
Edward Osler (1836) • English
Primary Scripture: Job 29:12-17
Verse 1
O Fount of good, for all your love Our true thanks should be paid. What can we render, Lord, to you, When you own all that's made?
Verse 2
But you have needy brothers here, Partakers of your grace, Whose names you will yourself confess Before the Father's face.
Verse 3
In their sad accents of distress Your pleading voice is heard; You may in them be clothed and fed And visited and cheered.
Verse 4
Then help us, Lord, your yoke to wear And gladly do your will, Each other's daily burdens share, The law of love fulfill.
Verse 5
Your face with rev'rence and with love We in the poor will view, And, while we minister to them, We do it as to you.
