:''How many read of William Cowper, the great English poet? You know, wrote, "There is a fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins." After he wrote that song, did you hear what happened to him? I stood by his grave not long ago.

It is interesting to note that William Branham said he visited Cowper's grave in London: | |||
:'''''In London, England… And I stood there by his grave, and I laid my hand over on the tombstone''', and I thought, "God rest your gallant soul." I thought, "Mr. Cowper, why were you considered a neurotic?" You know, after he wrote that song, "There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Emmanuel's vein," he came out of that inspiration and got—went down to the—to a cab—tried to find the river to commit suicide, to drown himself in the river. William Cowper; that's his history right there by his grave.<ref>William Branham, 51-0506A - Believest Thou This?, para. 10</ref> | |||
But Cowper was not buried in London. He is actually buried in the chapel of St Thomas of Canterbury, St Nicholas's Church, East Dereham. | |||
