Sheet music

  1. 1There 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,Lose all their guilty stains;And sinners plunged beneath that flood,Lose all their guilty stains.
  2. 2The dying thief rejoiced to seeThat fountain in his day;And there may I, tho' vile as he,Wash all my sins away.Wash all my sins away,Wash all my sins away;And there may I, tho' vile as he,Wash all my sins away.
  3. 3Dear dying Lamb!, Thy precious bloodShall never lose its pow’r,Till all the ransomed church of GodBe saved, to sin no more.Be saved, to sin no more,Be saved, to sin no more;Till all the ransomed church of GodBe saved, to sin no more.
  4. 4E'er since, by faith, I saw the streamThy flowing wounds supply,Redeeming love has been my themeAnd 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.
  5. 5Then in a nobler, sweeter song I’ll singThy pow’r to save,When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongueLies silent in the grave,Lies silent in the grave,Lies silent in the grave,When this poor, lisping, stamm’ring tongueLies silent in the grave.
