Hymn 209
There is a cleansing fountain
Meter: 7.6.7.6.D. & Ref.
Scripture: 1 John 1:7
There is a cleansing fountain
It flows from Calvary;
'Twas opened by the Saviour
From sin each soul to free.
And now His voice is calling
With accents, oh, so sweet,
Come to the cleansing river
Down at the Mercy-seat!
Oh! Calvary's stream is flowing,
Calvary's stream is flowing,
Flowing so free for you and for me,
Calvary’s stream is flowing.
Though worn and heavy laden
And burdened with your sin,
There’s virtue in the river,
Oh, will you enter in?
There's healing in its waters,
There’s cleansing in its stream,
Then look away to Calv’ry
Where mercy’s light does beam.
This stream of life eternal
For you is flowing free;
Oh, bow yourself for cleansing
And gain your liberty.
Then Christ shall be your Saviour
And out of you shall flow
A life of peace and heaven,
God's Paradise below.
