Fountain of Life

Lyrics

There is a fountain fill’d with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners plung’d beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.

Chorus:

Lose all their guilty stains,
And sinners plung’d beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, tho’ vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.

(Chorus)

Ere since, by faith, I saw the stream,
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming grace has been my theme,
And shall be ’till I die.

(Chorus)
