Lyrics

Will you meet me at the fount­ain,
Where the crys­tal wa­ters flow?
Will you meet me at the fount­ain?
You can wash as white as snow.
There we’ll meet our lov­ing Sav­ior,
Hear His gen­tle words of love;
And we’ll live in sweet com­mun­ion
With the saints in Heav’n above.

Refrain

Yes, I’ll meet you at the fount­ain,
With its wa­ters bright and clear
(Oh, yes, I’ll meet you, meet you);
Yes, I’ll meet you at the fount­ain,
Yes, I’ll meet you, meet you there.

Will you meet me at the fount­ain?
Christ, our Sav­ior, bids you come;
Will you meet me at the fount­ain?
He’ll pre­pare for you a home.
Other friends will give you wel­come,
Many lov­ing hearts you’ll cheer;
Won’t you meet me at the fount­ain,
At the fount­ain bright and clear?

Refrain

Will you meet me at the fount­ain,
Join the heav’n­ly choir above?
Will you meet me at the fount­ain,
There where all is peace and love?
There’ll be mu­sic at the fountain,
Not a sor­row, not a tear;
Christ is wait­ing there to greet you,
Won’t you, won’t you meet me there?
