Christ’s Blood a Cleansing Fountain. John 19. 34

1 Mourning souls, by sin distressed,
  Lost and ruined, void of good,
  You can never be released,
  But by faith in Jesus’ blood.

2 Richly flowed the crimson river,
  Down Immanuel’s lovely side;
  And that blood will you deliver,
  Whensoever ’tis applied.

3 Christ is ready to receive you;
  See his bloody cross appear.
  From your sins he will relieve you,
  And dissolve your every fear.

4 O behold the Lord expiring;
  See the suffering Lamb of God!
  And that love be much admiring,
  Which appears in streams of blood.
