Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Love is the fountain whence
All true obedience flows;
The Christian serves the God he loves,
And loves the God he knows.
2 He treads the heav'nly road,
And neither faints nor tires;
That gen'rous love which warms his breast
With fortitude inspires.
3 No burden seems so great,
No task so hard appears,
But this he cheerfully performs,
And that he meekly bears.
4 May love—that shining grace—
O’er all my pow'rs preside;
Direct my thoughts, suggest my words,
And ev'ry action guide. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Christian Evidences Love Scripture: 1 John 4:16 Used With Tune: GERAR
