THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.
O come to the Fountain of Life,
Ye thirsty, ye wretched, and poor,
Relinquish your labour and strife,
Salvation ye here may secure.
While wand'ring still farther astray,
Nor comfort nor peace can ye find,
No streams of the desert allay
The thirst of the desolate mind.
O come to the Fountain of Life,
Ye thirsty, ye wretched, and poor,
And soon will your spirit revive,
To labor and languish no more.
Yea, come without money and buy.
No righteousness have ye to boast,
If on your own works ye rely,
Your soul is eternally lost.
O come to the Fountain of Life,
Ye thirsty, ye wretched, and poor,
Its waters within you will thrive,
Their virtue of healing is sure.
Why think of a moment's delay,
Why linger in sorrow and gloom;
O haste to the fountain to-day,
All, all are invited to come.
O come to the Fountain of Life,
Ye thirsty, ye wretched, and poor,
Relinquish your labour and strife,
Salvation ye here may secure.
While wand'ring still farther astray,
Nor comfort nor peace can ye find,
No streams of the desert allay
The thirst of the desolate mind.
O come to the Fountain of Life,
Ye thirsty, ye wretched, and poor,
And soon will your spirit revive,
To labor and languish no more.
Yea, come without money and buy.
No righteousness have ye to boast,
If on your own works ye rely,
Your soul is eternally lost.
O come to the Fountain of Life,
Ye thirsty, ye wretched, and poor,
Its waters within you will thrive,
Their virtue of healing is sure.
Why think of a moment's delay,
Why linger in sorrow and gloom;
O haste to the fountain to-day,
All, all are invited to come.
