Lyrics

Verse 1
There is a fount­ain filled with blood (Zech. 13:1, John 19:34)
Drawn from Em­ma­nu­el’s veins; (Isa. 7:14, Matt. 1:23)
And sin­ners plunged be­neath that flood
Lose all their guil­ty stains. (I John 1:7, Rev. 1:5, Isa. 1:18, Rev. 7:14, Ps. 51:2)
Lose all their guil­ty stains,
Lose all their guil­ty stains;
And sin­ners plunged be­neath that flood
Lose all their guil­ty stains.

Verse 2
The dy­ing thief re­joiced to see
That fount­ain in his day; (Luke 23:39-43)
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away. (I John 1:7, Rev. 1:5, I Cor. 6:9-11)
Washed all my sins away,
Washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.

Verse 3
Dear dy­ing Lamb, Thy pre­cious blood (John 1:29, John 1:36, I Pet. 1:18-19)
Shall nev­er lose its pow­er (Heb. 9:12)
Till all the ran­somed church of God (Acts 20:28)
Be saved, to sin no more. (Rev. 5:9, John 8:11)
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ran­somed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more.

Verse 4
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flow­ing wounds sup­ply, (Zech. 12:10, John 19:34, John 19:37)
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.

Verse 5
Then in a nobler, sweet­er song,
I’ll sing Thy pow­er to save, (Rom. 1:16, I Cor. 1:18)
When this poor lisp­ing, stam­mer­ing tongue (Isa. 32:4)
Lies si­lent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave,
Lies silent in the grave;
When this poor lisp­ing, stam­mer­ing tongue
Lies si­lent in the grave.

Verse 6
Lord, I be­lieve Thou hast pre­pared,
Unworthy though I be,
For me a blood bought free re­ward, (John 14:2-3, Col. 1:12-14, I Cor. 2:9)
A gold­en harp for me! (Rev. 14:2-3)
A gold­en harp for me,
A gold­en harp for me;
For me a blood bought free re­ward,
A gold­en harp for me!

Verse 7
’Tis strung and tuned for end­less years,
And formed by power di­vine,
To sound in God the Fa­ther’s ears
No oth­er name but Thine; (Acts 4:12, Phil. 2:9-11)
No oth­er name but Thine,
No other name but Thine;
To sound in God the Fa­ther’s ears
No oth­er name but Thine.
