Gold Tried in the Fire ‎#66

66. Fountain of Life

1 A fountain of life is opened wide;
It flows, to sinners, a cleansing tide;
Its waters are free, it flows for me,
And I may drink and be satisfied.

Chorus:
Oh! that fountain flowing free,
Bursting forth from Calvary,
Where the guilty soul may flee,
And drink of the cleansing tide.

2 Its waters abundant are, and pure!
For sin and sorrow a perfect cure;
The lame and the blind may healing find,
And whoso drinketh shall thirst no more. [Chorus]

3 Its waters you freely may receive,
If you will only on Christ believe;
O brother, I pray you come today,
And take the water that Christ will give. [Chorus]
