45. Let Me Rest By the Fountain

1 There’s a fountain that’s free, flowing ‘neath life’s tree,
Where the saved of the earth shall rest;
It is flowing for you, and it flows for me,
Happy souls there forever are blest.

Refrain:
Let me rest ‘neath the tree,
When the fountain so pure flows by,
Where the Lord is the light,
And the souls of the saved never die.

2 Oh, I long to be there by the fountain clear,
Flowing from the great throne of God;
Let me rest ‘neath the tree, on the banks so near,
When my journey below I have trod. [Refrain]

3 May we all have a right to the tree of life,
Standing there by the fountain clear
Where we rest ‘neath the tree where there is no strife,
How I long, how I long to be there. [Refrain]
