Fountain Of Good, To Own Thy Love

Fountain of good, to own thy love
Our thankful hearts incline;
What can we render, Lord, to Thee,
When all the worlds are thine?

But Thou hast needy brethren here,
Partakers of thy grace,
Whose names Thou wilt Thyself confess
Before the Father's face.

And in their accents of distress
Thy pleading voice is heard,
In them Thou may'st be clothed, and fed,
And visited, and cheered.

Thy face with reverence and with love
We in thy poor would see;
O may we minister to them
And in them, Lord to Thee.
