LyicsFountain of grace, rich, full, and free,
What need I, that is not in thee-
Full pardon, strength to meet the day,
And peace which none can take away?
Doth sickness fill my heart with fear?
'Tis sweet to know that thou art near.
Am I with dread of justice tried?
'Tis sweet to know that Christ hath died.
In life, thy promises of aid
Forbid my heart to be afraid;
In death, peace gently vails the eyes-
Christ rose, and I shall surely rise.
