The Fulness of Christ

Verse 1

A fulness resides in Jesus our Head, And ever abides to answer our need; The Father’s good pleasure has laid up in store A plentiful treasure, to give to the poor.

Verse 2

Whate’er be our wants, we need not to fear; Our numerous complaints his mercy will hear; His fulness shall yield us abundant supplies; His power shall shield us when dangers arise.

Verse 3

The fountain o’erflows, our woes to redress, Still more he bestows, and grace upon grace. His gifts in abundance we daily receive; He has a redundance for all that believe.

Verse 4

Whatever distress awaits us below, Such plentiful grace will Jesus bestow As still shall support us and silence our fear, For nothing can hurt us while Jesus is near.

Verse 5

When troubles attend, or danger, or strife, His love will defend and guard us through life; And when we are fainting and ready to die, Whatever is wanting, his grace will supply.
