Lyrics

There’s a fount­ain that flows
Where the light ev­er glows,
In the beau­ti­ful land of the skies;
’Tis the fount­ain of love
In the re­gions above,
And the gleam on its stream ne­ver dies.

Refrain

Fountain of life, fount­ain of love,
Jesus in­vites to the soul cleans­ing flood;
Fountain of life, fount­ain of love,
Open to all who will come thro’ His blood.

From the great throne of God
Flows this soul-cleans­ing flood,
Gliding on in its pla­cid re­pose;
They who drink of its tide
Shall in peace e’er abide,
Saved from sin and re­deemed from its woes.

Refrain

When the hea­vens shall rend
And the Lord shall des­cend
To re­ceive all the ran­somed above,
O the glo­ri­ous time
As the home bells shall chime,
And we meet ’round that fount­ain of love.
