Author: J. B. MacKay Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 #59 (1905) First Line: From the heights of Calv'ry's mountain Refrain First Line: O the blood, the precious blood Lyrics: 1 From the heights of Calv’ry’s mountain, O’er the earth extending wide, Flows a royal, crimson fountain, Opened in the Saviour’s side. He who, on his name believing, Plunges deep beneath the flow, Life, eternal life, receiving, Rises washed as white as snow. Refrain: O the blood, the precious blood, I have plunged beneath the flow; In the royal, crimson fountain I’ve been washed as white as snow. 2 O the crimson fount is flowing For the soul all stained with sin, Pure and spotless hearts bestowing Unto all who enter in; For so wondrous is its power, That, tho’ scarlet be your stains, When you plunge, that self same hour, Not one blot of sin remains. [Refrain] 3 In the current of this fountain, So exhaustless, wide and free, When I found my sins forgiven, O what joy there came to me! For I felt an arm beneath me, And I heard a voice divine, Saying, “Fear not: I am with thee; I’ve redeemed thee, thou art mine.” [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [From the heights of Calv'ry's mountain]
