Hail, thou source of every blessing by Henry Thomas Smart — Lyrics

1. Hail, thou Source of every blessing, Sovereign Father of mankind! Gentiles now, thy grace possessing, In thy courts admission find. Once far off, but now invited, We approach thy sacred throne; In thy covenant united, Reconciled, redeemed, made one.

About Hail, thou source of every blessing

This SATB setting of an English hymn text opens by proclaiming God as the source of all blessings and the father of mankind, welcoming Gentiles into his courts. The lyrics speak of reconciliation and unity through divine covenant. The second verse shifts to the Nativity, referencing the star of Bethlehem and the wise men's offerings, hailing Jesus as the universal Saviour and King. Henry Smart's composition, written for the church, offers a moving setting of these devotional words, ideal for services seeking to express gratitude and adoration, particularly during seasons like Advent or Epiphany.
