There is A Fountain
January 2, 2006
Words & Music by William Cowper
The haunting melody of this song has always touched me very deeply, and when you combine the incredible words, this too makes for one of my favorite hymns.
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, was 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.
E'er since by faith I saw the stream, Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be 'til I die.
And shall be 'til I die, and shall be 'til I die.
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be 'til I die.
