Fountain of never ceasing graceA
Thy saints exhaustless themeB
Great object of immortal praiseC
Essentially supremeB
We bless Thee for the glorious fruitsD
Thine incarnation givesE
The righteousness which grace imputesE
And faith alone receivesE
-
Whom heaven s angelic host adoresE
Was slaughtered for our sinF
The guilt O Lord was wholly oursE
The punishment was ThineG
Our God in the flesh to set us freeH
Was manifested hereI
And meekly bare our sins that weH
His righteousness might wearJ
-
Imputatively guilty thenK
Our substitute was madeL
That we the blessings might obtainM
For which His blood was shedN
Himself He offered on the crossE
Our sorrows to removeO
And all He suffered was for usE
And all He did was loveP
-
In Him we have a righteousnessE
By God Himself approvedQ
Our rock our sure foundation thisE
Which never can be movedQ
Our ransom by His death He paidL
For all His people giv nK
The law He perfectly obeyedL
That they might enter heav nK
-
As all when Adam sinned aloneR
In his transgression diedS
So by the righteousness of OneT
Are sinners justifiedS
We to Thy merit gracious LordU
With humblest joy submitV
Again to Paradise restoredU
In Thee alone completeW
-
Our souls His watchful love retrievesE
Nor lets them go astrayX
His righteousness to us He givesE
And takes our sins awayX
We claim salvation in His rightY
Adopted and forgiv nK
His merit is our robe of lightY
His death the gate of heav nK
