There's a Fountain Free...
There's a fountain free, 'tis for you and me,
Let us haste, O haste to the brink;
'Tis a fount of love from the Source above,
And He bids us all freely drink.
Will you come to the fountain free?
Will you come? 'tis for you and me;
Thirsty soul hear the welcome cell;
'Tis a fountain open for all.
There's a living stream with a crystal gleam,
From the throne of life now it flows;
While the waters roll let the weary soul
Hear the call that forth freely goes.
Will you come to the fountain free?
Will you come? 'tis for you and me;
Thirsty soul hear the welcome call;
'Tis a fountain open for all.
There's a living well and its waters swell,
And eternal life they can give;
And we joyful sing, ever spring, O spring,
As we haste to drink and to live.
Will you come to the fountain free?
Will you come? 'tis for you and me;
Thristy soul hear the welcome call;
'Tis a fountain open for all.
There's a rock that's cleft and no soul is left,
That may not its pure waters share;
'Tis for you and me, and its stream I see;
Let us hasten joyfully there.
Will you come to the fountain free?
Will you come? 'tis for you and me;
Thirsty soul hear the welcome call;
'Tis a fountain open for all.

"For with thee is the fountain of life..."
~ Psalm 36:9
"...If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
~ John 7:37-38
"And he said unto me, It is done.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst
of the fountain of the water of life freely."
~ Revelation 21:6

Hey, I know this song! :-)
It's a fun song to sing, but the words have a great message.
Beautiful song!
Wow, am I ever behind here. Nice to see you are part of the Simple Woman's Daybook (so am I). What books are you awaiting? Are you still doing SOW? I am still implementing some of their ideas and still have the Bible as our main textbook, but sold my SOW a while back. Love your beach pictures. The water is so clear and a beautiful blue - is that the NC coast? MN's 10,000+ lakes are nice, but there is just something about the ocean.
Have a wonderful Lord's Day!
