Text: | The Fountain That Never Runs Dry. |
Author: | Haldor Lillenas |
Tune: | [Many weary years I vainly sought a spring] |
Composer: | Haldor Lillenas |
1 Many weary years I vainly sought a spring,
One that never would run dry;
Unavailing all that earth to me could bring,
Nothing seemed to satisfy.
Chorus:
Drinking at the Fountain that never runs dry,
Drinking at the Fountain of life am I;
Finding joy and pleasure
In abounding measure,
I am drinking at the Fountain of life.
2 Thro' the desert land of sin I roam no more,
For I find a living Spring,
And my cup of gladness now is running o'er,
Jesus is my Lord and King. [Chorus]
3 Here is sweet contentment as the days go by,
Here is holy peace and rest;
Here is consolation as the moments fly,
Here my heart is always blest. [Chorus]
4 Here I find a never-ending, sure supply,
While the endless ages roll;
To this healing Fountain I would ever fly,
There to bathe my weary soul. [Chorus]
