Author: W. Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #144a (1987) Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain opened wide
where life and hope begin;
for Christ the Lord was crucified
to cleanse us from our sin.
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 O Lamb of God, your precious blood
shall never lose its power,
till all the ransomed church of God
be saved to sin no more.
4 And since, by faith, I saw the stream
your flowing wounds supply,
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.
6 When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue
lies silent in the grave,
then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing your power to save.
