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.
Refrain
