Entering into the Congregation

Fountain of Life, to all below
Let Thy salvation roll;
Water, replenish, and o'erflow
Every believing soul.

Into that happy number, Lord,
Us weary sinners take;
Jesu, fulfil Thy gracious word
For Thy own mercy's sake.

Turn back our nature's rapid tide,
And we shall flow to Thee,
While down the stream of time we glide
To our eternity.

The WTell of life to us Thou art,
Of joy the swelling flood;
Wafted by Thee, with willing heart
We swift return to God.

We soon shall reach the boundless sea,
Into Thy fulness fall,
Be lost and swallow'd up in Thee,
Our God, our all in all.
