There Is a Fountain is a cherished hymn that powerfully reflects on the cleansing power of Jesus’ sacrifice. Written by William Cowper in the 18th century, the lyrics draw from Zechariah 13:1, depicting the atoning blood of Christ as a fountain that washes away sin.

With its moving melody and deep theological truth, this hymn has comforted and encouraged believers for generations. It reminds us that no matter how broken we are, God’s grace is more than enough to redeem and restore.

There Is a Fountain Lyrics

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 may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.

Thou dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more.
Are saved, to sin no more, are saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are 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.
