  1. 1There is a fountain filled with blood
  2. Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
  3. And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
  4. Lose all their guilty stains:
  5. Lose all their guilty sins,
  6. Lose all their guilty stains;
  7. And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
  8. Lose all their guilty stains.
  9. 2The dying thief rejoiced to see
  10. That fountain in his day;
  11. And there may I, though vile as he,
  12. Wash all my sins away:
  13. Wash all my sins away,
  14. Wash all my sins away;
  15. And there may I, though vile as he,
  16. Wash all my sins away.
  17. 3Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
  18. Shall never lose its pow'r,
  19. Till all the ransomed church of God
  20. Be saved, to sin no more:
  21. Be saved, to sin no more,
  22. Be saved, to sin no more;
  23. Till all the ransomed church of God
  24. Be saved, to sin no more.
  25. 4E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
  26. Thy flowing wounds supply,
  27. Redeeming love has been my theme,
  28. And shall be till I die:
  29. And shall be till I die,
  30. And shall be till I die;
  31. Redeeming love has been my theme,
  32. And shall be till I die.
  33. 5Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
  34. I'll sing Thy pow'r to save,
  35. When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
  36. Lies silent in the grave:
  37. Lies silent in the grave,
  38. Lies silent in the grave;
  39. When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
  40. Lies silent in the grave.
  41. 6Amen.
