There is a Fountain Filled With Blood
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 2,473 hymnals Topics: Cleansing and Forgiveness Lyrics: 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 hare I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away!
3 Dear dying lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransom'd church 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 Then, in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
6 Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared
Unworthy though I be,
For me a blood-bought free reward,
A golden harp for me;
7 'Tis strung and tuned for endless years,
And formed, by power divine,
To sound in God the Father's ears
No other name but Thine.
Amen.

Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed its beams around me. [Chorus]

Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o'er me. [Chorus]

Hoping, trusting, ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river. [Chorus]

And melt the heart of stone. [Chorus]

In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb. [Chorus]

My lips shall still repeat. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I hear the Savior say]

Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;

Send a revival - start the work in me.

For blessing now, O Lord, I humbly plead. Languages: English Tune Title: MAORI

All the sins of my life to forgive.

They are nailed to the cross,
O how much He was willing to bear!
With what anguish and loss Jesus went to the cross!
But He carried my sins with Him there.

While He cleanses my heart of the dross;
But “there’s no condemnation” - I know I am free,
For my sins are all nailed to the cross. [Refrain]

I will joyfully journey each day.
With a song on my lips and a song in my heart,
That my sins have been taken away. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There was One who was willing to die in my stead]

Grant Colfax Tullar
1869 - 1950 Topics: Cleansing and Forgiveness Composer of "[There was One who was willing to die in my stead]" in Revival Hymns and Choruses Grant Colfax Tullar was born August 5, 1869, in Bolton, Connecticut. He was named after the American President Ulysses S. Grant and Vice President Schuyler Colfax. After the American Civil War, his father was disabled and unable to work, having been wounded in the Battle of Antietam. Tullar's mother died when he was just two years old so Grant had no settled home life until he became an adult. Yet from a life of sorrow and hardship he went on to bring joy to millions of Americans with his songs and poetry.
As a child, he received virtually no education or religious training. He worked in a woolen mill and as a shoe clerk. The last Methodist camp meeting in Bolton was in 1847. Tullar became a Methodist at age 19 at a camp meeting near Waterbury in 1888.
He then attended the Hackettstown Academy in New Jersey. He became an ordained Methodist minister and pastored for a short time in Dover, Delaware. For 10 years he was the song leader for evangelist Major George A. Hilton. Even so, in 1893 he also helped found the well-known Tullar-Meredith Publishing Company in New York, which produced church and Sunday school music. Tullar composed many popular hymns and hymnals.
His works include: Sunday School Hymns No. 1 (Chicago, Illinois: Tullar Meredith Co., 1903) and The Bible School Hymnal (New York: Tullar Meredith Co., 1907). One of Grant Tullar's most quoted poems is "The Weaver":
My Life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow
And I, in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the under side.
Not til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
He knows, He loves, He cares,
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives His very best to those
Who chose to walk with Him.
