Come to the Fountain

Fanny Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 36:9

Verse 1

Come with thy sins to the fountain, Come with thy burden of grief; Bury them deep in its waters, There thou wilt find a relief.

Chorus

Haste thee away, why wilt thou stay? Risk not thy soul on a moment's delay; Jesus is waiting to save thee, Mercy is pleading today.

Verse 2

Come as thou are to the fountain, Jesus is waiting for thee; What tho' thy sins are like crimson, White as the snow they shall be.

Chorus

Haste thee away, why wilt thou stay? Risk not thy soul on a moment's delay; Jesus is waiting to save thee, Mercy is pleading today.

Verse 3

These are the words of the Saviour; They who repent and believe, They who are willing to trust Him, Life at His hand shall receive.

Chorus

Haste thee away, why wilt thou stay? Risk not thy soul on a moment's delay; Jesus is waiting to save thee, Mercy is pleading today.

Verse 4

Come and be healed at the fountain, List to the peace-speaking voice; Over a sinner returning, Now let the angels rejoice.

Chorus

Haste thee away, why wilt thou stay? Risk not thy soul on a moment's delay; Jesus is waiting to save thee, Mercy is pleading today.
