God Is the Fountain Whence

God is the fountain whence
[originally, Love is the fountain whence]
Ten thousand blessings flow;
To Him my life, my health, and friends,
And every good, I owe.

The comforts He affords
Are neither few nor small;
He is the source of fresh delights,
My portion and my all.

He fills my heart with joy,
My lips attunes for praise;
And to His glory I’ll devote
The remnant of my days.

This hymn is by the English Baptist minister and hymn writer Benjamin Beddome (1717–1795). It was published posthumously in his Hymns Adapted to Public Worship or Family Devotion (1818). The original first line was 'Love is the fountain whence' as noted in the query; later hymnals often altered it to 'God is the fountain whence'.
