Great Source of Unexhausted Good
Great Source of unexhausted good,
Who givest us health and friends and food
And peace and calm content;
Like fragrant incense, to the skies,
Let songs of grateful praises rise
For all Thy blessings lent.
Through all the dangers of the day,
Thy providence attends our way,
To guard us and to guide;
Thy grace directs our wandering will,
And warns us, lest seducing ill
Allure our souls aside.
To Thee our lives, our all, we owe,
Our peace and sweetest joys below,
And brightest hopes above;
Then let our lives, and all that’s ours,
Our souls, and all our active powers,
Be sacred to Thy love.

The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Now that is a title. ☺ It is new to me and making me very much want to hear it sung. Ellen, that could be a new feature…you and family singing the featured old hymns of the church.
Thank you again for this hymn, Ellen. I’ve not heard this one before but it proves again that the words provide depth to the music – God as the great source of unexhausted good… that is a a reason to praise Him and a thought to ponder. Like Vee, I’d love to see the music for this. I think it is one I’d sing often.
Great source of unexhaustable good – WOW!!! God is indeed good, all the time!
Again, a wonderful hymn but unknown to me. These are great words.
