I'm just from the fountain,
I'm just from the fountain,
Oh, I'm just from the fountain
That never runs dry.
Oh, fathers, I love Jesus,
Oh, glory, yes I do,
Oh, fathers, I love Jesus,
And you can love Him, too.

I'm just from the fountain,
I'm just from the fountain,
Oh, I'm just from the fountain
That never runs dry.
Oh, mothers, I love Jesus,
Oh, glory, yes I do,
Oh, mothers, I love Jesus,
And you can love Him, too.

(Mr. Detherow: "You can add to this brothers and sisters 'til you complete it.")
