Blessed Be the Fountain

Verse 1

Blessed be the Fountain of blood, To a world of sinners revealed; Blessed be the dear Son of God - Only by His stripes we are healed. Tho I’ve wandered far from His fold, Bringing to my heart pain and woe, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow.

Chorus

Whiter than the snow, Whiter than the snow, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow.

Verse 2

Thorny was the crown that He wore, And the cross His body o’ercame; Grievous were the sorrows He bore, But He suffered thus not in vain. May I to that Fountain be led, Made to cleanse my sins here below; Wash me in the blood that He shed, And I shall be whiter than snow.

Verse 3

Father, I have wandered from Thee, Often has my heart gone astray; Crimson do my sins seem to me— Water cannot wash them away. Jesus, to the Fountain of Thine, Leaning on Thy promise, I go; Cleanse me by Thy washing divine, And I shall be whiter than snow.
