There’s a fountain for the cleansing of the soul,
Where the wicked wash away their sin and shame;
Where the heart can be for evermore made whole,
And lose all its guilty stains.
Refrain
There’s a fountain flowing for me;
There’s a fountain flowing so free;
’Tis the precious blood of Jesus,
Which was shed on Calvary;
There’s a fountain flowing for me.
For the healing of the nations is its flow;
Come, ye millions, plunge into the crimson tide;
O the precious blood will cleanse you as you go,
And you will be satisfied.
Refrain
While the fountain’s standing open, heed the cry,
Whosoever will may come into the flood;
Plunge, O plunge into the fountain ere you die,
For ’tis filled with Jesus’ blood.
Refrain
