Representative Text

1 Jesus, I am coming now,
Coming to the fountain;
Precious is th'atoning blood,
Shed on Calvary's mountain.

Refrain:
Coming now, coming now,
Seeking grace and favor,
That my weary soul may find
Rest in thee forever.

2 Jesus, make me true to thee,
Pure, and meek, and lowly,
While I walk the narrow way
To the city holy. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, fill my heart with peace,
Flowing like a river;
Day by day my joy increase,
Till the glad forever. [Refrain]
