Lyrics

I am liv­ing, dai­ly liv­ing
’Neath the shel­ter of His grace,
Down by the foun­tain of His love;
And the storms of doubt and tri­al
Ne’er can hide His bless­èd face,
Down by the foun­tain of His love.

Refrain

Down by the foun­tain
I will ev­er stay,
Down where His pre­sence
Lights the wea­ry way;
I shall lay my bur­dens down
And re­ceive the roy­al crown,
Down by the foun­tain of His love.

I am trust­ing in His pro­mis­es
Which ne­ver, ne­ver fail,
Down by the foun­tain of His love;
And by keep­ing close to Je­sus
I shall wea­ther eve­ry gale,
Down by the foun­tain of His love.

Refrain

I am sing­ing hal­le­lu­jah
As the mo­ments on­ward flee,
Down by the foun­tain of His love;
And my soul is filled with glo­ry
For the peace He gives to me,
Down by the foun­tain of His love.
