Blest Jesus, Source of Grace Divine
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. Blest Jesus, source of grace divine,
What soul-refreshing streams are Thine,
O bring these healing waters nigh,
Or we must droop, and fall, and die.
2. No traveler through desert lands,
’Midst scorching suns and burning sands,
More needs the current to obtain,
Or to enjoy refreshing rain.
3. Our longing souls aloud would sing,
Spring up, celestial fountain, spring;
To an abundant river flow,
And cheer this thirsty land below.
4. May this blest river near my side
Through all the desert gently glide;
Then in Immanuel’s land above,
Spread to a sea of joy and love. Used With Tune: VESTAL Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
Blest Jesus, Source of Grace Divine
When, By The Tempter's Wiles Betrayed
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: When, by the tempter’s wiles betrayed Lyrics: 1 When, by the tempter’s wiles betrayed
Adam our head and parent fell,
Unknown before, a pleasure spread,
Through all the mazy deeps of hell.
2 Infernal powers rejoiced to see
The new-made world destroyed, undone;
But God proclaims His great decree,
Of grace and mercy through His Son.
3 Serpent, accursed, thy sentence read,
Almighty vengeance thou shalt feel;
The woman’s seed shall crush thy head,
Thy malice slightly bruise His heel.
4 Thus God declares, and Christ descends,
In human form to bleed and die;
Whilst by His death, death’s empire ends,
And all the sons of darkness fly.
5 Rising, the King of glory deals
Destruction to His numerous foes;
His power the daring tempter feels,
And sinks oppressed beneath his woes. Used With Tune: VESTAL Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
