Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800; Nathaniel Micklem Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #506 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There stands a fountain where for sin
Immanuel was slain,
And sinners who are washed therein
Are cleansed from ev'ry stain,
Are cleansed from ev'ry stain.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away,
Washed all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved and sin no more,
Be saved and 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 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. Topics: Spiritual Songs Languages: English Tune Title: COWPER
