Source From Whence The Stream Of Mercy

Source from whence the stream of mercy

Like a river flows to me,

With Thy cords of love so tender

Bind and keep me close to Thee.

Refrain

Keep me ever close to Thee,

Blessèd Savior, dear to me,

With Thy cords of love so tender

Bind and keep me close to Thee;

Keep me ever close to Thee,

Blessèd Savior, dear to me,

Bind and keep me close to Thee.

Refrain

There my life, my hope and comfort,

There a refuge for my soul,

When the clouds hang darkly round me,

And the distant surges roll.

Refrain

There in holy, sweet communion

With Thy Spirit day by day,

Faith to realms of light and glory

Bears my raptured soul away.

Refrain

Close to Thee, O Savior, keep me,

Till I reach the shining shore,

Till I join the raptured army,

Shouting joy forevermore.
