There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,475 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:2 Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed 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. 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. 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.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,998 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:2 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Author: Shirley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 823 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:2 Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend; Life and health and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying Friend. 2 Truly blessed is this station, Low before his cross to lie, While we see divine compassion Beaming in his gracious eye. 3 Love and grief our hearts dividing, With our tears his feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. 4 For thy sorrows we adore thee, For the pains that wrought our peace; Gracious Saviour, we implore thee In our souls thy love increase. 5 Here we feel our sins forgiven, While upon the Lamb we gaze; And our thoughts are all of heaven, And our lips o'erflow with praise. 6 Still in ceaseless contemplation, Fix our hearts and eyes on thee, Till we taste thy full salvation, And, unvailed, thy glories see.
