Representative Text

1 The fountain of life flows free to all,
In Christ’s atoning blood;
The Father’s best gift, the heavenly call,
All hail redeeming love.

Refrain:
The gospel is free,
Unto you and to me,
Accept it today,
Oh, why longer delay?

2 The purchase was made on Calvary,
The price is love divine;
O soul, still adrift on life’s rough sea
The promised hope is thine. [Refrain]

3 Why wander in exile far from home,
Without thy Father’s care?
How tenderly now He calls thee come,
Return, His mercy share. [Refrain]
