206--O Christ He is the fountain,

O Christ He is the fountain,

206

	1.	O Christ He is the fountain,
		The deep, sweet well of life:
		Its living streams l've tasted
		Which save me from grief and strife.
		And to an ocean fullness,
		His mercy doth expand;
		His grace is all-sufficient
		As by His wisdom planned.
	2.	O I am my Beloved's.
		And my Beloved's mine;
		He brings a poor vile sinner
		Into His house of wine!
		I stand upon His merit;
		I know no other stand.
		I'm hidden in his presence
		And held by His own hand.
	3.	The Bride eyes not her garment,
		But her dear Bridegroom's face;
		I will not gaze at glory.
		But on my King of grace:
		Not at the crown He giveth,
		But on His pierced hand;
		The Lamb is all the glory,
		And my eternal stand!
