Songs of Matchless Love ‎#17

17. Try the Healing Fountain

1 Art thou walking in the shadow
When thy God Himself is light?
Do life’s burdens hard oppress thee?
Livest thou alone by sight?

Refrain:
Come and try the Healing Fountain
Which for sin and suff’ring flows;
To the Cross bring all thy sorrows,
How to heal them Jesus knows.

2 Do sweet strains of silv’ry music
Bring a discord to thine ear?
When thy weary heart seeks gladness
Comes instead the blinding tear? [Refrain]

3 Gathering life’s fairest roses,
Findest thou a stinging thorn,
Leaving thee but pain and sorrow,
And thy spirit bleeding, torn? [Refrain]

4 Why not try the Healing Fountain,
Whence a balm for suffering flows
O’er the heart all weary, broken,
O’er the life all filled with woes? [Refrain]

5 There the Savior, meekly waiting,
Longs thy spirit to release
From its weight of care and sorrow,
And to give His love and peace. [Refrain]
