Lyrics

Jesus the water of life will give,
Freely, freely, freely;
Jesus the water of life will give,
Freely to those who love Him.
Come to that fountain, oh drink, and live!
Freely, freely, freely;
Come to that fountain, oh, drink and live!
Flowing for those that love Him.

Refrain

The Spi­rit and the Bride say, Come;
Freely, freely, freely;
And he that is thirsty let him come,
And drink of the water of life.
The foun­tain of life is flow­ing,
Flowing, free­ly flow­ing;
The foun­tain of life is flow­ing,
Is flow­ing for you and for me.

Jesus has pro­mised a home in Heav’n,
Freely, free­ly, free­ly;
Jesus has pro­mised a home in Heav’n,
Freely to those who love Him.
Treasures un­fad­ing will there be giv’n
Freely, free­ly, free­ly;
Treasures un­fad­ing will there be giv’n
Freely to those that love Him.

Refrain

Jesus has pro­mised a robe of white
Freely, free­ly, free­ly;
Jesus has pro­mised a robe of white
Freely to those who love Him.
Kingdoms of glo­ry and crowns of light,
Freely, freely, freely;
Kingdoms of glo­ry and crowns of light,
Freely to those that love Him.

Refrain

Jesus has pro­mised eter­nal day,
Freely, free­ly, free­ly;
Jesus has pro­mised eter­nal day,
Freely to those who love Him.
Pleasures that ne­ver shall pass away,
Freely, free­ly, free­ly;
Pleasures that ne­ver shall pass away,
Freely to those that love Him.
