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.

Scriptural Foundations
