There Stands a Fountain Where for Sin

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800; Nathaniel Micklem Hymnal: LW1982 #506 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Lyrics: 1 There stands a fountain where for sin Immanuel was slain, And sinners who are washed therein Are cleansed from ev'ry stain, Are cleansed from ev'ry stain. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved and sin no more, Be saved and sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing thy pow'r to save.

In Jesus' name I boldly seek your face And take from you, my Father, grace for grace.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-83 Hymnal: LW1982 #91 (1982) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Person Name: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-83 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior's love to me, Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be. Oh, who am I That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But oh, my friend, My friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way And his sweet praises sing; Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King. Then "Crucify!" Is all their breath, And for his death They thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease And 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they save, The prince of life they slay. Yet cheerful he To suff'ring goes That he his foes From thence might free. 6 In life no house, no home My Lord on earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was his home But mine the tomb Wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine! Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like thine. This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend! Topics: Atonement; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of your suff'ring, pain, and death That I may not perish. 2 Make me see your great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And your crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails did wound you, How you died for those, O God, Who with thorns had crowned you. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see your Passion; But its cause to me make known And its termination. For I also and my sin Brought your deep affliction; This the shameful cause has been Of your crucifixion. 4 Grant that I your Passion view With repentant grieving, Let me not bring shame to you By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Ev'ry sinful pleasure Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5 If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let your cross my fear disarm, Peace and pardon give me. Grant that I may trust in you And your holy Passion; If his Son forgives anew, God must have compassion. 6 Jesus, Lord, my heart renew, Let me bear my crosses, Learning humbleness from you, Peace despite my losses. May I give you love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in heav'n above Sing your praise forever.
