A E This praise song about the action of the Holy Spirit is sometimes attributed to L(Louis?) Casebolt, but no further information about them has been located. Hymn-books which it has been published in include:
These both state that the author is unknown, and that the arrangement (not the underlying tune / words) is copyright Scripture in Song USA, 1972. The song, credited to Betty Pulkingham and L Casebolt was recorded on the Songs of Praise, Album 3 released under the Word of God label in 1977 (ref). It was also included in the 1978 album Rejoice with the Fisherfolk - and the sleeve material of this recording credits verse 1 to L Casebolt, and verses 2-6 to Betty Pulkingham (ref). It is not clear when, or by who, the chorus and actions were added. There are at least two variations of these which have been recorded. The song has been translated to various languages, including Tongan (ref), and one recording on YouTube shows an adapted version being sung at at 21st century vacation bible school.

In this key, there is a high E in the last line, and more recent publications have the song in F. Downloads This section may contain affiliate links: I earn from qualifying purchases on these.

oh well... (gush, gush, gush, gush) Within my soul! 2 There's a fountain flowing from the Saviour's side, 3 There's a risen Saviour at the Father's throne, 4 There’s a Holy Comforter who’s sent from Heaven, 5 There’s a land of rest that we may enter now, 6 There’s full salvation wrought for you and me, Alternative verses 2 -4 and chorus - author unknown:Chorus: 2. I’ve got a river of life flowing within me; It started gushing up when God set me free. That I keep the flow is my only plea. I’ve got a river of life springing within me. 3. Once I call His name there’s a flow within; It turns me from my day, makes Him Lord again. As my spirit burns, Satan cannot win. Calling, “Oh Lord Jesus,” keeps the flow within. 4 Abundantly, abundantly, abundantly. ABC NotationAbout ABC notation X:1 See more ...
