Songs of the Kingdom ‎#17

17. Come to the Fountain

1 Oh, come today to the fountain,
That flows for you and for me;
Oh, come and drink of its waters,
They flow ever full and free.

Chorus:
Come to the clear flowing fountain,
Flowing for you and for me;
Drink of the life-giving fountain,
Its waters are pure and free.

2 Oh, sinner, burdened with sorrow,
How sweet the message to thee;
Oh, come today to the fountain,
That flows ever full and free. [Chorus]

3 Oh, sinner, look unto Jesus,
Who conquered death and the grave;
He bids you come to the fountain,
Its waters have pow'r to save. [Chorus]

4 Why will you wander in darkness,
Why to the world will you cling?
Oh, come and plunge in the fountain,
And you shall be free from sin. [Chorus]
