Representative Text

1 I now am so happy in Jesus’ sweet love,
No sorrow my heart can control;
I’m washed in the fountain that flowed from His side,
And Jesus gives peace to my soul.

Refrain:
Then, friends, why not come and find pardon today?
Why not come, why not come?
The Saviour is waiting, why longer delay?
O come to the fountain today.

2 I know I’m a sinner, a sinner redeemed,
A brand taken out of the flame;
I’ll let my light shine so that others may see,
And praise my Immanuel’s name. [Refrain]

3 The way is so simple the foolish may run,
The halt and the blind may come too;
Tho' crimson your stains, and like scarlet your sins,
The blood makes them whiter than snow. [Refrain]
