There is a Fountain Filled With Blood

1  

There is a fountain filled with blood  

Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;  

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,  

Lose all their guilty stains. 

2  

The dying thief rejoiced to see  

That fountain in his day;  

And there may I, though vile as he,  

Wash all my sins away. 

3  

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood  

Shall never lose its power,  

Till all the ransomed ones of God  

Be saved, to sin no more. 

4  

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. 

5  

When this poor lisping, stammering tongue  

Lies silent in the grave,  

Then in a nobler, sweeter song,  

I’ll sing Thy power to save.

Author:William Cowper (1731-1800)

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. ~Zechariah 13:1

The name Immanuel (or Emmanuel) is only mentioned in the Bible three times.

Isaiah 7:14 

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel.

This verse from Isaiah is referenced in Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 

Isaiah 8:8 

And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. 

[Isaiah 8:8 describes an impending invasion by Assyria, portrayed as a devastating flood or a bird of prey overwhelming Judah, but ending with the powerful declaration, "O Immanuel!" meaning "God with us," signifying that while the land would suffer greatly, God's presence protects it, pointing to ultimate hope and the promised Messiah.]
