279 Holy Jesus! Fountain streaming

1 Holy Jesus! Fountain streaming Of holiness and grace redeeming, As clear as crystal, pure and free; Cherubim in robes of whiteness And seraphim in all their brightness Are darkness when compared with Thee; Be Thou my pattern bright, My glory and delight, Holy Savior! O teach Thou me, that I may be All pure and holy, like to Thee. 2 Gentle Jesus! self-denying, And with Thy Father's will complying, Yea, even unto death resigned; Let me e'en, Thy way pursuing, And pride and haughtiness subduing, Be guided by Thy gentle mind, Like Thee may I be mild And gentle as a child, Gentle Savior! O teach Thou me, that I may be Meek and obedient, like to Thee. 3 Loving Jesus! Thou my treasure, Whose love to man no thought can measure, Conform me to Thine image bright; Send Thy Spirit, grace bestowing, That I, in every virtue growing, May ripen for the realms of light; O draw me after Thee, Forever Thine to be, Loving Savior! Thou givest rest to souls distressed, And all who learn of Thee are blest.
