Say, are you weary? Are you heavy laden
Describing how this song came to be written, the author said that, one day, as he was closing his accounts, he found a mistake which he could not correct. To clear his Thoughts, he went for a short bus ride, and had not gone far when the chorus'I know a fount' started to form in his mind. before his journey ended, the first two verses and the chorus were almost finished.When he arrived home, he wrote the music and two other verses, and immediately sent the song to the Music Editorial Department. It appeared shortly afterwards in The Musical Salvationist, April 1923, entitled 'I know a Fount'.
