"There's a Fountain Free"
Music: Asa B. Everett, 1876 Lyrics: Mary B.C. Slade, 1876 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. 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. There's a living well and its waters swell, And eternal life they can give; And we joyful sing, ever spring, O spring, As we haste to drink and to live. 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 for all. |
