Another Free "Live" Sojourn mp3: "There Is A Fountain"

Ask many people to name their favorite hymns and they’ll say “There Is A Fountain.”  We Sojourners love it, too.  And now we want to share a recent acoustic rendition of this classic William Cowper hymn, recorded live in our 2/8/2009 worship service by our “Gospel Quartet:” Jamie Barnes, Rebecca Dennison, Katie Vaughn and Brooks Ritter.  You’ll also hear sparse, tasteful instrumentation by Jamie (banjo), Brooks (guitar) and Dony Irwin (upright bass).

Hear “There Is A Fountain” By Sojourn Now

Drake Hatfield engineered this free mp3, as he has done for many of the shows recorded at our venue, The 930 Listening Room.  And if you missed it, last week we shared another song from this same worship service, engineered by Drake: the stirring spiritual “Go Down, Moses.”

“There Is A Fountain” lyrics, by William Cowper, music attributed to Lowell Mason:

There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in His day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow’r,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are safe, to sin no more.

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.
