There is a fountain filled with blood
- 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 may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away. - Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed ones of God
Be saved, to sin no more:
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed ones of God,
Be saved to sin no more. - 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,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die. - 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,
I'll sing Thy power to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save.

Apr. 27, 2011David BeachBeltsville, MD, United StatesThe lyrics presented here in verse five do appear to be the ones that William Cowper published, according to several sources that I researched. Note: There are some publications that make a small change in verse four, with the first line starting as: "For since by faith..." rather than "E'er since by faith.."
There is also an additional verse, sometimes used, which is perhaps better forgotten, as it cites acquiring "a golden harp." Such an unscriptural verse detracts from the sentiment of the song. As published here, it seems to encapsulate the experience of a "saved one:"
Verse one: seeing our guilt; Verse two: being washed; Verse three: salvation; Verse four: Faith; Verse Five: Eternity!
Apr. 26, 2011Cilvia HenfieldSyracuse, NY, United StatesAs a child, I remember singing the last verse of this song differently. I remember seeing it different in the old hymnals. "Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, when this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave. Which is correct???

Dec. 25, 2003Bryan James NygaardFlorida, U.S.A.Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be til I die. No matter what sin or mistake I've made or will ever make in my life, He loves me enough to cleanse me of it with His precious blood. Likewise, I shall always forgive those who have wronged me.
