1 Take me to the precious fountain,
Where the crystal waters flow,
There, on Calvary’s holy mountain,
Make me whiter than the snow.

Refrain:
Take me to the fountain,
Precious is its overflow!
In its crystal waters,
Make me whiter than the snow.

2 Take me to the precious fountain,
Stain of sin shall disappear,
And on Zion’s blessed mountain
With the ransomed I’ll appear. [Refrain]

3 Take me to the precious fountain,
Pure and holy I would be;
Seal my heart by thine own spirit,
Make me more and more like thee. [Refrain]
