Page 66 - THERE is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins ; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains.
Page 67 - Are there no foes for me to face ? Must I not stem the flood ? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God ? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign ; Increase my courage, Lord ! I'1l bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word.
