Jesus, Fountain of my days

Jesus

Fountain of my days

Well-spring of my heart’s delight

Brightness of my morning rays

Solace of my hours of night;

When I see Thee

I arise

To the hope of cloudless skies.

Oh

how weary were the years

Ere Thy form to me was known;

Oh

how gloomy were the fears

When I seemed to be alone;

I despaired the storm to brave

Till Thy footprints touched the wave.

But Thy presence on the deep

Calmed the pulses of the sea

And the waters sank to sleep

In the rest of seeing Thee;

And my once rebellious will

Heard the mandate

Peace

be still!

Now Thy will and mine are one

Heart in heart

and hand in hand;

All the clouds have touched the sun

And the ships have reached the land;

For Thy love has said to me

No more night! and No more sea!
