There is a fountain fill'd with blood

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,543 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away! 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransom'd church 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, stamm'ring tongue 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! 7 'Tis strung and tuned for endless years, And form'd by power divine; To sound in God the Father's ears No other name but Thine.

The things of the earth in the earth let us lay

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The things of the earth in the earth let us lay, The ashes with ashes, the dust with the clay; But lift up the heart, and the eye, and the love, Oh, lift up the soul to the regions above. 2 Since He, the Immortal, hath entered the gate, So, too, shall we mortals, or sooner or late; Then stand we on Christ; let us mark Him ascend, For His is the glory and life without end. 3 On earth with His own ones, the Giver of good, Bestowing His blessing, a little while stood: Now nothing can part us, nor distance, nor foes, For lo! He is with us, and who can oppose? 4 So, Lord, we commit this our brother to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free; We know that through grace, when our life here is done, We live still in Thee, and forever in one. 5 All glory to Thee, Father, Spirit, and Son, Who three art in person, in substance but one, In whom we have victory over the grave, Who lovest Thy people to pardon and save.

Buried in shadows of the night
