Author: Josepine Pollard Hymnal: Songs of the Kingdom #200 (1896) Hymnal Title: Songs of the Kingdom First Line: Nearer the fount of Jesus' love Lyrics: 1 Nearer the fount of Jesus’ love,
peacefully, purely flowing,
Nearer the fount that gleams above,
Daily thro’ grace I’m going.
Refrain:
Nearer the fount,
Nearer the fount,
Nearer I come today,
Nearer the fount,
Nearer the fount,
To wash my sins away.
2 Calvary’s height no more shall be
Only a gloomy mountain,
While from its side there flows for me
Ever a cleansing fountain. [Refrain]
3 Jesus will lead me ev’ry day
Nearer the fount of blessing,
If for His guiding hand I pray,
All of my guilt confessing. [Refrain]
4 Jesus, who wept and bled and died,
Make all my pathway clearer,
Bring me at last o’er Jordan’s tide,
Nearer to Thee, yes, nearer. [Refrain] Topics: Faith and Trust Scripture: Revelation 7:17 Languages: English Tune Title: [Nearer the fount of Jesus' love]
