1 There is in the house of David
A fountain deep and wide,
And it flows from Calv’ry’s mountain,
Where Christ was crucified.
Chorus:
There is glory in my soul,
And my hallelujahs roll,
For I’ve been beneath the fountain,
And the blood hath made me whole.
2 For the healing of the nations
‘Twas opened by our Lord,
Millions who have tried the fountain
Thro’ grace have been restored. [Chorus]
3 “Tho’ your sins may be as scarlet,”
Come to the fountain’s flow;
“Tho’ they may be red like crimson,
I’ll make them white as snow.” [Chorus]
4 When I reach the streets of glory,
With all the blood-wash’d throng,
I will gave on Christ the fountain,
While louder swells the song. [Chorus]

Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church.
Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher.
For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton… Go to person page >
