Lyrics

There’s a fount­ain free flow­ing ’neath life’s tree;
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by;
There the happy soul never shall grow old;
We shall rest at the fountain by and by.

Refrain

We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by;
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by;
There we all shall stand with the an­gel band,
We shall rest at the foun­tain by and by.

There’s a fount­ain bright in that land of light;
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by;
On its banks grow flow’rs am­id Heav­en’s bow’rs;
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by.

Refrain

There’s a fount­ain sweet where we all shall meet;
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by;
Songs of joy we’ll raise to our Sav­ior’s praise;
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by.

Refrain

There’s a fount­ain free, sin­ner, ’tis for thee;
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by;
Will you meet me there and its bless­ings share?
We shall rest at the fount­ain by and by.
