There Is a Fountain

Words: William Cowper · Music: Hallowed Songs, 1865, Lowell Mason · 1772

Verse 1
There is a fountain filled with blood,
drawn from Immanuel's veins;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains;
lose all their guilty stains,
lose all their guilty stains;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.

Verse 2
The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day;
and there may I, though vile as he,
wash all my sins away;
wash all my sins away,
wash all my sins away;
and there may I, though vile as he,
wash all my sins away.

Verse 3
Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
shall never lose its pow'r,
till all the ransomed church of God
be saved to sin no more;
be saved to sin no more,
be saved to sin no more;
till all the ransomed church of God
be saved to sin no more.

Verse 4
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;
and shall be till I die,
and shall be till I die;
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.

Verse 5
When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
lies silent in the grave,
then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy pow'r to save;
I'll sing thy pow'r to save,
I'll sing thy pow'r to save,
then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy pow'r to save.
