There is a Fountain Filled With Blood

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,545 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, 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. 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, 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, Lies silent in the grave. 6 Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be, For me a blood-bought free reward, A golden harp for me, A golden harp for me. 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, No other name but Thine. Amen. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: COWPER

The Church's one Foundation

One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy Food, And to one Hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest. Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil, and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits for consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest.

It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored; It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ, the living Word. 3 It floateth like a banner Before God's host unfurled; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world; It is the chart and compass That o'er life's surging sea, Mid mists, and rocks, and quicksands, Still guides, O Christ, to Thee. 4 Oh, make Thy church, dear Saviour, A lamp of burnished gold, To bear before the nations Thy true light as of old; Oh, teach Thy wandering pilgrims By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see Thee face to face. Amen. Topics: The Word Used With Tune: EVERTS
