Lyrics

Down at the cross where my Sav­ior died,
Down where for cleans­ing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood ap­plied;
Glory to His name!

Refrain

Glory to His name, glo­ry to His name:
There to my heart was the blood ap­plied;
Glory to His name!

I am so won­drous­ly saved from sin,
Jesus so sweet­ly abides with­in;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His name!

Refrain

Oh, pre­cious foun­tain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have en­tered in;
There Je­sus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His name!

Refrain

Come to this foun­tain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Sav­ior’s feet;
Plunge in to­day, and be made com­plete;
Glory to His name!
