Indian Methodist Hymn-book: Hymns Used on the Fraser River Indian Mission, of the Methodist Church, B. C. Conference, to Which Are Appended Hymns in Chinook, and the Lord's Prayer and Ten Commandments

Hymns; Methodist Church (Canada)

1  There is a fountain filled with blood,
      Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
    And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
      Lose all their guilty stains.

2  The dying thief rejoiced to see
      That fountain in his day;
    And there may I, though vile as he
      Wash all my sins away.

3  O dying Lamb, thy precious blood
      Shall never lose its power,
    Till all the ransomed Church of God
      Be saved to sin no more.




                                   12
                           JESUS SHALL REIGN.

1  Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
      Doth his successive journeys run;
    His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
      Till suns shall rise and set no more.

2  For him shall endless prayer be made,
      And praises throng to crown his head;
    His name like sweet perfume shall rise
      With every morning sacrifice.

3  Let every creature rise, and bring
      Its grateful honors to our King;
    Angels descend with songs again,
      And earth prolong the joyful strain.




                                   13
                    COME HOLY SPIRIT, HEAVENLY DOVE.

1  Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
      With all thy quickening powers;
    Kindle a flame of sacred love
      In these cold hearts of ours.

2  In vain we tune our formal songs,
      In vain we strive to rise;
    Hosannas languish on our tongues,
      And our devotion dies.

3  Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
      With all thy quickening powers;
    Come, shed abroad the Savior's love,
      And that shall kindle ours.




                                   14
                         JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL.
