The Fulness of Christ. John 1. 16; Eph. 1. 23; Col. 1. 19

1 A fulness resides in Jesus our Head,
  And ever abides to answer our need;
  The Father’s good pleasure has laid up in store
  A plentiful treasure, to give to the poor.

2 Whate’er be our wants, we need not to fear;
  Our numerous complaints his mercy will hear;
  His fulness shall yield us abundant supplies;
  His power shall shield us when dangers arise.

3 The fountain o’erflows, our woes to redress,
  Still more he bestows, and grace upon grace.
  His gifts in abundance we daily receive;
  He has a redundance for all that believe.

4 Whatever distress awaits us below,
  Such plentiful grace will Jesus bestow
  As still shall support us and silence our fear,
  For nothing can hurt us while Jesus is near.

5 When troubles attend, or danger, or strife,
  His love will defend and guard us through life;
  And when we are fainting and ready to die,
  Whatever is wanting, his grace will supply.
