There is a fountain filled with blood

 

VERSE 1

 

There is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;

And sinners plunged beneath that flood

Lose all their guilty stains.

 

VERSE 2

 

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.

 

VERSE 3

 

Then in a nobler, sweeter song,

I’ll sing Thy power to save,

When this poor lisping, stammering tongue

Lies silent in the grave.

 

VERSE 4

 

Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared,

Unworthy though I be,

For me a blood bought free reward,

A golden harp for me!

 

VERSE 5

 

’Tis strung and tuned for endless years,

And formed by power divine,

To sound in God the Father’s ears

No other name but Thine, Amen.
