13203. Meet Me At The Fountain

1 Will you meet me at the fountain,
When I reach the glory land?
Will you meet me at the fountain?
Shall I clasp your friendly hand?
Other friends will give me welcome,
Other loving voices cheer;
There’ll be music at the fountain;
Will you, will you meet me there?

Refrain:
Yes, I’ll meet you at the fountain,
At the fountain bright and fair;
Oh, I’ll meet you at the fountain,
Yes, I’ll meet you, meet you there.

2 Will you meet me at the fountain?
For I’m sure that I shall know
Kindred souls and sweet communion,
More than I have known below.
And the chorus will be sweeter,
When it bursts upon my ear,
And my Heaven seem completer,
If your happy voice I hear. [Refrain]

3 Will you meet me at the fountain?
I shall long to have you near,
When I meet my loving Savior,
When His welcome words I hear.
He will meet me at the fountain;
His embraces I shall share;
There’ll be glory at the fountain;
Will you, will you meet me there? [Refrain]
