Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #256 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains,
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.
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.
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.
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. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance and Forgiveness; Invitation; The Lord's Supper; Salvation Scripture: Zechariah 13:1 Languages: English Tune Title: COWPER
