1.

Life comes alone from Christ Jesus—
Pure living streams from Him pour.
No one but Christ truly frees us
From lusts within that wage war.

Chorus:

Come to the Fount—come to Jesus;
Drink of the streams from above.
Then you’ll have life that increases,
Filled with the Lord’s fervent love.

2.

This world will only deceive us:
All of its cisterns are dry.
Sin brings destruction so grievous—
Those who pursue it will die.

3.

Come while there’s still time remaining.
He’ll stay your hunger and need.
Stop all your fretting, complaining.
Come! Jesus’ voice quickly heed.

4.

Drink! And with others start sharing;
Give and He’ll greatly reward—
Water of life to them bearing,
So they of heart seek the Lord.
