Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #XCVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plung'd beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see
That fountain in his day;
O may I there, tho' vile as he,
Wash all my sins away!
3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransom'd Church of God
Be sav'd,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 But when this lisping stammering tongue,
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English
