'There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins (Praise for the Fountain opened)' (hymn) written by William Cowper

There is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Immanuel's veins;

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,

Wash all my sins away.


Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood

Shall never lose its pow'r,

Till all the ransomed Church of God

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.


When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue

Lies silent, in the grave,

Then in a nobler, sweeter song 

I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.
