HERE is a fountain fill'd with blood, THE And sinners plunged beneath that flood, 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Till all the ransomed church of God 4 Since first by faith I saw the stream 5 Soon in a nobler, sweeter song, C.M. And with the heavenly, blood-bought throng, 6 Lord I believe Thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be, For me a blood-bought free reward, 10. 1 7 'Tis formed and strung for endless years, To sound in God the Father's ears YE Universal Praise. nations round the earth, rejoice, 2 The Lord is God: 'tis He alone 11. 4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind, 1 Ebenezer. YOME, thou fount of every blessing!

Our surety He is: Come, see if there ever was sorrow like his. The Lord, in the day Of his mercy, did lay Our sins on the Lamb, and he bore them away. He dies to atone For sins not his own: The Father hath given for us his dear Son: Come lift up your eyes At Jesus's cries; Behold how He suffers, how patient He dies! 13. 1 4 For sinners like me He died on the tree; His death is accepted, the sinner is free. With joy we embrace The ransoming grace Of Him who hath suffered, and died in our place. We still shall adore That ocean of love, without bottom or shore. "It is finished." ARK! the voice of love and mercy, HAR See, the rocks are rent asunder, Hear the dying Saviour cry. 2 It is finished!" O what pleasure Saints, his dying words record. On his grace and power depend. 4 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, Glory to the bleeding Lamb. P.M. 14. 1 15. Salvation. SALVATION! O the joyful sound, A sovereign balm for every wound, 2 Buried in sorrow and in sin, 3 Salvation! let the echo fly 1 The spacious earth around, K Christian Fellowship. INDRED in Christ, for his dear sake, May we together now partake The joys which only He can give. 2 May He, by whose kind care we meet, And cause our hearts to burn with love. 3 Forgotten be each worldly theme, When Christians meet together thus: Who lived, and died, and reigns for us. 4 We'll talk of all He did, and said, The path He marked for us to tread ; C.M.
