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.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day;
and there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away;
Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away;
And there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away.
E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Your 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.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song I’ll sing Your pow’r to save,
when this poor lisping, stamm’ring tongue lies silent in the grave:
lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave;
when this poor lisping, stamm’ring tongue lies silent in the grave.
Dear dying Lamb, Your precious blood shall never lose its pow’r;
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.
-William Cowper
