Fountain of all the good we see

Verse 1
Fountain of all the good we see
Streaming from heav’n above,
Saviour! Our faith we act on thee,
And exercise our love. (Gal. 5:6, I Thess. 1:3)

Verse 2
‘Tis not the outward food we eat
Doth this new strength afford, (John 6:27, Rom. 14:17)
‘Tis thou, whose presence makes it meat, (I Tim. 4:4-5)
Thou the life-giving word. (John 1:1-4, John 6:63, John 6:68)

Verse 3
Man doth not live by bread alone, (Deut. 8:3, Matt. 4:4, Luke 4:4)
Whate’er thou wilt can feed;
Thy power converts the bread to stone,
And turns the stone to bread. (Matt. 4:3, Luke 4:3)

Verse 4
Thou art our food: we taste thee now, (Ps. 34:8, John 6:35, John 6:51, John 6:55)
In thee we move and breathe, (Acts 17:28, Gen. 2:7, Acts 17:25)
Our bodies’ only life art thou, (Col. 3:4, John 14:6)
And all besides is death! (John 6:53-57)
