34t The Gospel Pool

Words: John Newton, 1779

Music: Edmund Dumas, 1869

Meter: Short Meter (6,6,8,6)

Beside the gospel pool,
Appointed for the poor,
From time to time my helpless soul,
Has waited for a cure.

But whither can I go?
There is no other pool,
Where streams of sov’reign virtue flow,
To make a sinner whole.
