There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
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.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never loose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God,
Be saved to sin no more.
~William Cowper

ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite hymns!!
William Cowper is one of my
favorite hymn writers! I also
love his hymn "God Moves in a Mysterious Way" here is my
favorite verse from that hymn~
"His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower."
Isn't that beautiful?!
Thank you for sharing I hope
you and your family had a pleasant
and sweet Lord's Day!!
Love in Christ,
Jen
