How Well I Know This Fountain by Gabrael StClair — Lyrics
Refrain:
How well I know this fountain. It flows and abounds with Grace.
Though it is night.
Verses:
1. Of its source I know not, because it has none.
Yet well I know all sources flow from its vale.
Though it is night.
2. I know of no thing of such beauty.

About How Well I Know This Fountain
This sacred hymn for two-part treble voices in English begins with a sense of gentle wonder. The SA voicing offers opportunities for simple, flowing harmonies that mirror the text's imagery of a flowing fountain of grace. The music evokes the mystery and divine source described in the lyrics, where even in darkness, the purity and light emanating from this fountain are recognized. The composer explores the paradox of a source unknown yet all-encompassing, a radiant purity that forms all light and is ultimately found within the Highest Good. The refrain, repeated throughout, provides a constant anchor to this central theme of profound spiritual recognition.
