P.o.t.W.

There is a Fountain
Hymn, William Cowper, 1731-1800
to an Early American Melody

There is a fountain filled with Love
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,
Wash 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!

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,
Be saved, to sin no more;
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:
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme, 
And shall be till I die.
