THERE IS A FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BLOOD

THERE IS A FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BLOOD

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
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, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.
Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.

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.
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.

Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.

Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be,
For me a blood bought free reward, a golden harp for me!’
Tis strung and tuned for endless years, and formed by power divine,
To sound in God the Father’s ears no other name but Thine.

O HAPPY DAY

O HAPPY DAY

O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

Refrain

Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away.

O happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him Who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to that sacred shrine I move.

Refrain

’Tis done: the great transaction’s done!
I am the Lord’s and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

Refrain

Now rest, my long divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest.
Here have I found a nobler part;
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.

Refrain

High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till in life’s latest hour I bow
And bless in death a bond so dear.

Refrain

A Friend when earth is past,
A Friend to meet on Heaven’s shore,
A Friend when home at last!

O I WANT TO SEE HIM

O I WANT TO SEE HIM

As I journey through the land, singing as I go,
Pointing souls to Calvary—to the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
But my Lord leads me on, thro’ Him I must win.

Refrain

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
But I’ll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;
Satan’s snares may vex my soul, turn my tho’ts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate’er betide.

Refrain

When in valleys low I look tow’rd the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched tow’rd the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.

Refrain

When before me billows rise form the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on thro’ this world below;
He’s a real Friend to me, O I love Him so.

Refrain

Find the and shelter under the blood,
And I will pass, will pass over you.

We’ll walk the heav’nly way.

VICTORY IN JESUS

VICTORY IN JESUS

I heard an old, old story,
How a Saviour came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary,
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory!

O victory in Jesus
My saviour, forever,
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood!

Refrain

I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing,
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried,'' Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,''
And somehow Jesus came
And brought the cleansing flood

Refrain

I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I 'll sing up there
The song sondg of victory!

Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief,
Kneeling there in deep contrition;
Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.

Refrain

Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in Heav’n but Thee?

Refrain

WONDERFUL PEACE

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!

Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul!

Where the Anchor of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be!

Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime!

HE ABIDES

HE ABIDES

As I walk the narrow way,
For the hand of God in all my life I see.
And the reason of my bliss,
Yes, the secret all is this:
That the Comforter abides with me.

Hallelujah, He abides with me!

As I walk the narrow way,

Once I had no peace within,
Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree.
Then I fell down at His feet,
And there came a peace so sweet.

Out in the desert dark and drear,
Calling the sheep who’ve gone astray
Far from the Shepherd’s fold away.

Bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the wand’ring ones to Jesus.

Help Him the wand’ring ones to find?
Who’ll bring the lost ones to the fold,
Where they’ll be sheltered from the cold?

Out on the mountains wild and high;
Hark! ’tis the Master speaks to thee,
“Go find My sheep where’er they be.”

A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak His name

Wear a bright and shining crown.
And when the battle’s over,
We shall wear a crown
In the new Jerusalem!

Must I be carried to the skies
On flow'ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed through bloody seas?

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must i not stem the flood?
In this vile world a friend to grace
To help me onto God?

Increase my courage, Lord;

Supported by thy Word

BEHOLD! BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD

BEHOLD! BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD

Behold! behold the Lamb of God,
On the cross of Calvary;
For us He sheds His precious blood
On the cross of Calvary!
O hear His all important cry,
Why perish, blood bought sinner, why?
Draw near and see your Savior die
On the cross of Calvary.

Behold His arms extended wide
On the cross of Calvary;
Behold His bleeding hands and side
On the cross of Calvary.
The sun withholds his rays of light,
The heav’ns are clothed in shades of night,
While Jesus does with devils fight
On the cross of Calvary.

Come, sinners, see Him lifted up
On the cross of Calvary;
He drinks for you the bitter cup
On the cross of Calvary.
The rocks do rend, the mountains quake,
While Jesus doth atonement make,
While Jesus suffers for our sake
On the cross of Calvary.

And now the mighty deed is done
On the cross of Calvary;
The battle’s fought, the victory’s won
On the cross of Calvary.
To Heav’n he turns His dying eyes;
’Tis finished! now the Conqueror cries;
Then bows His sacred head and dies
On the cross of Calvary.
Where’er I go I’ll tell the story
Of the cross of Calvary;
In nothing else my soul shall glory
Save the cross of Calvary.
Yes, this my constant theme shall be
Through time and eternity,
That Jesus tasted death for me
On the cross of Calvary.

Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.

Faint was I from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,

Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But His presence still is with me;
By His guiding hand I’m led.

Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
