The Crystal Fountain-Hymn Sing

The Crystal Fountain-Hymn Sing
Three Verses: Two in Db; One in Eb
Verse 1:
So long of thirst my weary soul did languish,
And naught of earth my soul could satisfy;
But when to Christ I turned in bitter anguish,
I found in Him the answer to my cry.
Refrain:
O I have found it-the Crystal Fountain,
Where all my life's deep needs have been supplied;
So freely flowing from Calv'ry's mountain,
And now my soul is fully satisfied.
Verse 2:
I tried the world with its alluring pleasure.
It mocked my soul, all burdened down with care.
But grace and help in blessed, boundless measure
I've found in Christ, the Fount of Life, so fair.
Verse 3:
Dear fainting heart, O do not longer tarry.
Come now to Christ and drink-your soul renew.
He knows your need-the heavy load you carry.
This blessed Fount is open now for you.

My Mother and Aunt used to sing this in our small church. Brings back such memories. Thank you ❤

[@GeriRosser]

Dean, you’re welcome! Thanks for listening!

[@sojourner2954]

Thank you. Though forgotten, not lost - (like the invitation of the 3rd vs.)

[@GeriRosser]

I get it, Steve. It’s been on my mind for a few weeks, so it’s fresh.

Hello Geri! I have never heard this song before??

[@GeriRosser]

It’s probably not in a lot of hymnals. Our church’s publishing company adopted it, so it was probably written by someone from our denomination.
