Let Me Tarry at the Fountain

Verse 1

As weary I wandered o’er this toilsome way, I see a fountain pure and free; A fount where all may cool their thirst, A fountain at Jesus’ feet.

Chorus

Let me tarry Let me tarry At the fountain where the sparkling water freely flows; In the presence of my Savior may I always stay, Drinking deep of the fount of life.

Verse 2

The conflicts of life, and all the weight of care, Would overcome my weary soul, But for the fount where I may go, That Christ may make me whole.

Verse 3

In heav’n with my Savior I shall always live, And drink that water evermore; I then shall never thirst again. But live on that golden shore.
