Lyrics
Verse 1
There's a fountain free tis for you and me
let us haste o haste to its brink,
tis the fount of love from the source above,
and he bids us all freely drink.
Verse 2
There's a living stream with a crystal gleam;
from the throne of life now it flows,
while the waters roll, let the weary soul
hear the call that forth freely goes.
Verse 3
There's a rock that’s cleft and no soul is left
that may not its pure waters share,
tis for you and me and its stream I see;
let us hasten joyfully there.
Chorus
Will you come, to the fountain free?
Will you come, tis for you and me?
Thirsty soul, hear the welcome call,
tis a fountain opened to all.

17for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
