Crowning Day No. 3 ‎#24

24. We Shall Rest at the Fountain

1 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.

2 There’s a fountain bright in that land of light,
We shall rest at the fountain by and by;
On its banks are flow’rs growing ‘mid heav’n’s bow’rs
We shall rest at the fountain by and by. [Refrain]

3 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 Saviour’s praise,
We shall rest at the fountain by and by. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
