The Old Fountain
Author: Emma M. Johnston Hymnal: Songs of Praise and Salvation #103 (1902) First Line: By Samaria’s wayside well Refrain First Line: There’s a fountain that was opened Lyrics: 1 By Samaria’s wayside well,
Once a blessed message fell
On a woman’s thirsty soul,
Long ago;
And to eyes that long were sealed
Was the glorious light revealed,
Through a fountain that was opened
Long ago.
Refrain:
There’s a fountain that was opened
Long ago;
For the healing of the nations is its flow;
Along the lines of ages,
The prophets and the sages
Caught the singing of the waters,
Long ago.
2 And a little captive maid,
By a leper undismayed,
Told to him a simple story,
Long ago;
That the stream where he might lave
Had alone the pow’r to save,
Through his trust in that old fountain,
Long ago. [Refrain]
3 As the eunuch tied to read,
Philip taught him of his need,
And baptized him in the stream,
Long ago;
As the outward seal and sign
Of an inward work divine,
That was wrought through that old fountain,
Long ago. [Refrain]
4 O thou fountain, deep and wide,
Flowing from the wounded side
That was pierced for our redemption,
Long ago;
In thy ever-cleansing wave
There is found all pow’r to save;
‘Tis the pow’r that healed the nations,
Long ago. [Refrain] Tune Title: [By Samaria’s wayside well]

On a woman’s thirsty soul,

And to eyes that long were sealed
Was the glorious light revealed,
Thro’ a fountain that was opened
Long ago.

By a leper undismayed,
Told to him a simple story,
Long ago;
That the stream where he might lave
Had alone the power to save,
Thro’ his trust in that old fountain,
Long ago. [Refrain]
3 And a woman in a crowd,
Without word or cry aloud,
Just stooped down and touched His garment,
Long ago;
As her urgent soul appealed,
So her sinful soul was healed,
In that fountain that was opened,
Long ago. [Refrain]

Flowing from the wounded side,
That was pierced for our redemption,
