Sacred Fountain

Thou whose hand did lead Thy chos­en peo­ple

Through the de­sert on their pil­grim way

In Thy mer­cy grant us now Thy bless­ing

Jesus help us all to watch and pray.

Father

Thou art pure and ho­ly

ho­ly

May our hearts Thy tem­ple be

O

make us hum­ble

meek and low­ly

Poor in spir­it

Sav­ior

more like Thee.

Give us wa­ter from the sac­red fount­ain

While we jour­ney in a thirs­ty land;

Strong in Thee no earth­ly foe can harm us

Thou our rock on which we firm­ly stand.

Gentle Sav­ior

Thou wilt nev­er leave us

Still from dan­ger and from storm de­fend

Sweet the pro­mise to Thy faith­ful child­ren

Thou wilt guide and keep them to the end.

Though we pass the dark and roll­ing riv­er

Thou wilt bear us safe­ly to the shore;

We shall praise Thee in the vales of Ed­en

With the saints and an­gels ev­er­more.
