The Open Fountain

Verse 1

There’s a precious fountain opened, For uncleanness and for sin, And the invitation given, Only come and wash therein.

Chorus

Oh! the precious blood of Jesus, Fount of cleansing, full and free, Come and wash and live forever, It was shed for you and me.

Verse 2

Though your sins may be as scarlet, They shall be as white as snow, He who washes in this fountain Shall its healing virtues know.

Verse 3

Oh! my friend why do you linger, Wash in Calvary’s crimson wave, Come now for there’s no repentance, In the cold and silent grave.

Verse 4

Will you heed the invitation, Come to Jesus, don’t delay, Ere tomorrow death may claim you, Oh, today’s salvation’s day.

Verse 5

When your dearest friends forsake you; In your sorest want and need, Then the sympathizing Jesus, Will become a Friend indeed.
