For Adam's lost race Christ hath opened a fountain; For sin and uncleanness, and every transgression, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. Chorus: Hallelujah to the Lamb, who hath purchased our pardon; We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan. 2 Ye souls that are wounded! oh, flee to the Saviour; He calls you in mercy,--'tis infinite favor; Your sins are increasing,--escape to the mountain; His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain. Hallelujah to the Lamb, &c. [Chorus] 3 O Jesus, ride onward, triumphantly glorious, O'er sin, death, and hell thou art more than victorious; Thy name is the theme of the great congregation, While angels and men raise the shout of salvation. Hallelujah to the Lamb, &c. 4 With joy shall we stand, when escaped to the shore; With harps in our hands, we will praise him the more; We'll range the sweet plains on the bank of the river, And sing of salvation for ever and ever!

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 42:16 First Line: Holy Father, thou hast taught me Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, thou hast taught me I should live to thee alone; Year by year thy hand hath brought me On through dangers oft unknown. When I wandered, thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife may never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit's strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in thy protection, Wholly rest upon thine arm; Follow wholly thy direction, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at thy side.
