It flows from Jesus’ side;
And I have plunged my guilty soul
Beneath its cleansing tide.
Refrain:
Blessed fountain of blood,
I have plunged ’neath its flood;
And now its cleansing billows roll,
Through all my happy soul.
2 There is a blessed fount of blood,
’Tis streaming o’er my heart;
Through all my soul its tranquil joy
Enlivens every part. [Refrain]
3 There is a blessed fount of blood,
Whose virtue stands between
A barren land of sin and shame,
And fields of living green. [Refrain]
4 There is a blessed fount of blood,
Which gladdens all my life;
It saves me now, oh, joy to know,
From sorrow, sin, and strife.
