---
O fountain of love, O God of all grace,
Whose bowels did move t'ward Adam's lost race,
Accept our thanksgiving for sending our Lord,
That all men believing might all be restor'd.
Great friend of mankind, we trust in thy blood,
Thy passion, we find, hath brought us to God:
We thank and we bless thee, who sav'st us from thrall,
And gladly confess thee, the Saviour of all.
O Spirit of love, whom all men may feel,
Whose pity has strove, and strives with us still;
We bless thee for giving to all thy free-grace,
Thy prevalent striving would save the whole race.
