Lyrics 1. Come, oh, come to the fountain so free; Why wilt thou thirst on the mountain? Jesus, thy Saviour, is waiting for thee, Come to the life giving fountain. Chorus: Haste, haste to the fountain that flows Pure from eternity's river, On its beautiful margin repose, Drink of its waters forever. 2. Come, oh come, art thou longing for rest, Weary and laden with sorrow? Come, and this moment be happy and blest, Trust not the dawn of tomorrow. 3. Come, oh, come from the gloom and the night, Long thy worn spirit oppressing; Come to the fountain that sparkles with light, Fountain of joy and of blessing. 4. Fly, oh, fly to thy Saviour away, Break ev'ry chain that has bound thee, Then will the arms of his mercy today Lovingly circle around thee.
