Oh, Drink at the Fountain

lyricist: J. R. Hamilton, 1883
Composer: George Root

Oh

drink at the fount­ain of truth di­vine

And in­to our hearts let the sun­light shine

That we in the light of the Word may be­hold

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty with streets of gold

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty

the beau­ti­ful ci­ty

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty with streets of gold.

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty of truth and love

Descending to earth from the Heav’n ab­ove

Arrayed in the clear shin­ing gar­ments of light

Dispelling the gloom of the dis­mal night.

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty

the beau­ti­ful ci­ty

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty where is no night.

Let love for the serv­ice of Christ be pure

Built on the foun­da­tions that aye en­dure

For ev­ery true heart for His glo­ry that beats

Shall live in the ci­ty with gold­en streets.

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty

the beau­ti­ful ci­ty

The beau­ti­ful ci­ty with gold­en streets
