1 There’s a precious fountain, flowing deep and wide,
There is perfect cleansing in its crimson tide;
Underneath its current we would e’er abide.
Walking in the light of God.

Refrain:
If we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
We have fellowship one with another,
And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
Cleanseth us from all sin.

2 We are living safe beneath the fountain’s flow,
Free from sinful dross, with raiment white as snow;
We’ve a hand to guide us, as we onward go,
Walking in the light of God. [Refrain]

3 From the bonds of sin the Lord hath brought release,
Bade our cry of mourning evermore to cease;
We are filled each moment with his blessed peace,
Walking in the light of God. [Refrain]

4 From our hearts the praise of Jesus Christ we sing,
By our service we will crown him Lord and King,
To his feet an offering of love we bring,
Walking in the light of God. [Refrain]
