There is a fountain filled with
blood,
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to
see,
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious
blood
Sha never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
E'er since, by faith, I saw the
stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter
song
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
