Drinking of/from ______ that will never run dry

There's a hymn that my pastor used to sing sometimes a long time ago when I was a wee lad, but I've never been able to remember the name of it. All I remember is what's in the Topic title. I'm drinking of/from ________ that will never run dry, atleast I think that's what the lyrics were. I was such a youngin' that it's hard to be sure if it's a real memory or a false memory. If anyone could help me find a song that has lyrics similar to this i'd greatly appreciate it.

Your memory is most likely intact
I am guessing your missing word is "fountain".
There are several hymns that are either "drinking at" or "drinking from" the fountain.
If you could give us the clue as to what denomination you attended as a wee lad
and what decade it was, it might help us suss out the hymn.

perhaps it is "drinking from the springs of living water"

chorus is...I'm drinking from the springs of living water. Happy now am I, my soul they satisfy. Drinking at the springs of living water, Oh wonderful and bountiful supply.

Sound familiar? If so, we can help you with the rest!

@songinmyheart,

The denomination is Pentecostal, I'll try to remember the decade and if I remember I'll send you another reply. Thanks
