The Spirit's Influences Compared to Living Water

Verse 1

Bless'd Jesus, source of grace divine What soul-refreshing streams are thine! O bring these healing waters nigh, Or we must droop, and fall, and die.

Verse 2

No traveller thro' desert lands, ’Midst scorching suns, and burning sands, More needs the current to obtain, Or to enjoy refreshing rain.

Verse 3

Our longing souls aloud would sing, Spring up, celestial fountain, spring; To a redundant river flow, And cheer this thirsty land below.

Verse 4

May this blest torrent near my side, Thro' all the desert gently glide; Then in Immanuel’s land above, Spread to a sea of joy and love!
