LyicsThere is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all thier guilty stains.
The dying theif rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Wahsed all my sins away,
Washed all my sins away.
O Lamb of God, 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.
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 when this lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then, in nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy power to save,
I'll sing thy power to save.
