Drinking at the Fountain

Representative Text

1 We are drinking at the fountain
Of redeeming, precious love;
At the crystal fountain flowing
From our Father’s throne above.

Refrain:
Yes, we’re drinking at the fountain,
The wonderful, wonderful fountain,
Drinking full salvation at the fountain
Of life and redeeming love.

2 We are drinking at the fountain
That for all so freely flows,
In the murmur of its waters
There’s a balm for mortal woes. [Refrain]

3 At the blessed, living fountain,
Ever flowing, bright and clear,
There is joy for ev’ry sorrow,
And a smile for ev’ry tear. [Refrain]

4 When we reach our Father’s Kingdom,
And our pilgrim life is o’er,
At the fountain pure and sparkling
We will drink, and thirst no more. [Refrain]
