"Words originally by Richard Burdsall, 1797, apparently in five stanzas. Burdsall's first stanza ("Now Christ he is risen, the serpent's head bruised") was soon discarded; the hymn appears in all references starting with his second stanza. Nonetheless, these stanzas have been often revised, including by Jeremiah Ingalls in this work."

'''Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the Use of Christians''' '''(Philadelphia, 1803) meter: 12 12. 12 12. 13 11.''' 1. The voice of free grace cries escape to the mountain, For Adam's lost race, Christ has opened a fountain For sins and transgressions, and every pollution. His blood flows most freely in plenteous redemption. :''Chorus'' :Hallelujah to the Lamb who purchased our pardon, :We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan. 2. This fountain so clear in which all may find pardon, From Jesus’ side flows plenteous redemption: Though your sins were increased as high as a mountain, His blood it flows freely in streams of salvation. :''Chorus'' 3. O! Jesus, ride on, thy kingdom is glorious, O’er sin, death, and hell, thou wilt make us victorious; Thy name shall be praised in the great congregation, And saints shall rejoice in ascribing salvation. :''Chorus'' 4. When on Zion we stand, having gained the blest shore, With our harps in our hands, we'll praise him evermore: We'll range the blest fields on the bank of the river, And sing Hallelujah for ever and ever. :''Chorus''
