There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,534 hymnals Topics: Saving Work of Christ 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:
lose all their guilty stains,
lose all their guilty stains;
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 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.
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,
be saved, to sin no more;
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:
and shall be till I die,
and shall be till I die;
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.
5 When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
lies silent in the grave,
then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save:
I'll sing thy power to save,
I'll sing thy power to save;
then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save.

Not What These Hands Have Done
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Saving Work of Christ Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done
can save this guilty soul;
not what this toiling flesh has borne
can make my spirit whole.
2 Not what I feel or do
can give me peace with God;
not all my prayers and sighs and tears
can bear my awful load.
3 Thy work alone, O Christ,
can ease this weight of sin;
thy blood alone, O Lamb of God,
can give me peace within.
4 Thy love to me, O God,
not mine, O Lord, to thee,
can rid me of this dark unrest,
and set my spirit free.
5 Thy grace alone, O God,
to me can pardon speak;
thy power alone, O Son of God,
can this sore bondage break.
6 I bless the Christ of God;
I rest on love divine;
and, with unfaltering lip and heart,
I call this Savior mine.
Scripture: John 6:68 Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW

has a wondrous attraction for me;
for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]

a wondrous beauty I see,
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
to pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]

its shame and reproach gladly bear;
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
where his glory forever I'll share. [Refrain]

Refrain:
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 'Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine!
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain]
3 He left his Father's throne above ,
so free, so infinite his grace;
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race;
'tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain]
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth and followed thee. [Refrain]
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. [Refrain]

he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
no, I was found of thee.
2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm vexed sea;
'twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
as thou, dear Lord, on me.
3 I find, I walk, I love; but, oh, the whole
of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee!
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
always, always thou lovedst me. Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
