Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #XLV (1799) First Line: The fountain of Christ, lord, help us to sing Lyrics: 1 The fountain of Christ, lord, help us to sing: The blood of our priest, our crucify'd king; The fountain that cleanses from sin and from filth, And richly dispenses Salvation and health. 2 This fountain so dear he'll freely impart; When pierc'd by the spear, it flow'd from his heart; With blood and with water, the first to atone, To cleanse us the latter; the fountain's but one. 3 This fountain from guilt not only makes pure, And gives, soon as felt, infallible cure; But if guilt removed, return and remain, Its power may be proved again and again. 4 This fountain unseal'd stands open for all Who long to be heal'd the great and the small; Here's strength for the weakly that hither are led; Here's health for the sickly, and life for the dead. 5 This fountain tho' rich, from charge is quite clear, The poorer the wretch, the welcomer here: Come needy, and guilty, come loathsome, and bare: Tho' leprous and filthy, come just as you are. 6 This fountain in vain has never been try'd, It takes out all stain, whenever apply'd; The fountain flows sweetly with virtue divine, To cleanse souls completely, tho' leprous as mine.
