There Is a Fountain

197

(COWPER C. M.)

William Cowper, 1731-1800

Lowell Mason, 1792-1882

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.
   
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.
   
3. Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
   Shall never lose its power,
   Till all the ransomed church of God
   Be saved to sin no more,
   Be saved to sin no more.
   
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.
   
5. Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
   I'll sing thy power to save,
   When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
   Lies silent in the grave,
   Lies silent in the grave. Amen.
