1Will you come to the fountain free? Will you come? Will you come? Will you come to the fountain free? Will you come?

RefrainWill you come? Will you come? Jesus is calling today; Will you come? Will you come? Come to him without delay.

2O the cleansing stream flows free, Will you come? Will you come? Jesus calls so tenderly, Will you come?

3At the cross there's room for all, Will you come? Will you come? Hear the Savior's loving call, Will you come?

4In this blessed day of grace, Will you come? Will you come? Jesus offers you a place, Will you come?
