Jesus, Son of Mary, Fount of Life Alone

Jesus

Son of Ma­ry

fount of life alone

Here we hail Thee pre­sent on Thine al­tar throne.

Humbly we ad­ore Thee

Lord of end­less might

In the mys­tic sym­bols veiled from earth­ly sight.

Think

O Lord

in mer­cy on the souls of those

Who

in faith gone from us

now in death re­pose.

Here ’mid stress and con­flict toils can nev­er cease;

There

the war­fare ended

bid them rest in peace.

Often were they wound­ed in the dead­ly strife;

Heal them

good Phy­si­cian

with the balm of life.

Every taint of ev­il

frail­ty and de­cay

Good and gra­cious Sav­ior

cleanse and purge away.
