Augustus Montague Toplady Death Poems
- 1. Fountain Of Never-ceasing Grace
Fountain of never ceasing grace,
Thy saintsâ?? exhaustless theme,
Great object of immortal praise,
Essentially supreme;
... - 2. Jesus, By Whose Grace I Live
Jesus, by whose grace I live,
From the fear of evil kept,
Thou has lengthen'd my reprieve,
Held in being while I slept.
... - 3. Deathless Principle! Arise
Deathless principle! arise;
Soar, thou native of the skies;
Pearl of price, by Jesus bought,
To His glorious likeness wrought,
... - 4. God Of Love
God of love, whose truth and grace
Reach unbounded as the skies,
Hear thy creature's feeble praise,
Let my ev'ning sacrifice
... - 5. Object Of My First Desire
Object of my first desire,-
Jesus, crucified for me;-
All to happiness aspire,
Only to be found in Thee;
... - 6. Rock Of Ages, Cleft For Me
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the Water and the Blood,
From thy riven Side which flow'd,
... - 7. In Sickness
Jesus, since I with thee am one,
Confirm my soul in thee,
And still continue to tread down
The man of sin in me.
