If you know where to get a good photo of Robinson (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
There is a fountain flowing free,
With bright and crimson sheen;
’Twas opened in King David’s time,
To make the sinner clean.
Refrain
This fountain opened in David’s time,
Still flows with grace divine;
And whosoever will enter in,
Shall be saved and cleansed from sin.
On Calvary’s brow the Savior bled,
For you, His life He gave;
He bore the sins of all the world,
And from all sins doth save.
Refrain
Come, sinner, come, your sins confess,
And let this fountain roll;
With cleansing power the crimson tide
Will wash and make you whole.
Refrain
I come, O Lord, with contrite heart,
I all my sins forsake;
I plead Thy promise, trust Thy Word,
I now my Sav-ior take.
