132. There is a fountain filled with blood

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

Refrain:
I do believe, I will believe,
That Jesus died for me;
That on the cross he shed his blood,
And now he sets me free.

2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.

3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed host of God
Be saved, to sin no more.

4 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.

5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
