GRACES IN COPIOUS STREAM (HYMN)

03 May

Graces in copious stream
from that pure fount are welling,
where, in our heart of hearts,
our God has set his dwelling.
His word our lantern is,
his peace our comfort still,
his sweetness all our rest,
our law, our life, our will.

All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son, and Holy Ghost
enthroned in highest heaven;
the one, eternal God,
whom earth and heav’n adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.
– Frederick Oakley,
tr. Catherine Winkworth
