The Open Fountain

In the Bi­ble we are told

By the pro­phets wise of old

Of a fount­ain op­ened wide

In our bless­èd Sav­ior’s side.

To this fount­ain you may go

For its wa­ters free­ly flow;

It will wash you from your sin

Make you clean with­out

with­in.

There’s a fount­ain op­ened wide

In our Sav­ior’s wound­ed side;

To this fount­ain come to­day

It will wash your sins away.

Hear

O hear Him sweet­ly say

To this fount­ain come to­day;

It will give you li­ber­ty

From your id­ols set you free.

Evil spir­its He’ll cast out

Cleanse your heart from ev­ery doubt;

Why not come and be made free?

It is op­en wide for thee.

I’m so glad that I’ve plunged in

Been made free from ev­ery sin

Daily walk­ing in the light

Bound to win in ev­ery fight.

Having fel­low­ship so sweet

Sitting low at Je­sus’ feet

In this way I mean to stand

Till I reach the glo­ry land.
