The Water of Life

Verse 1

O the joy—tell it out, My soul's victory; I must raise the glad shout, The Lord hath blessed me, He whispered, I love thee, Why keep up the strife? I yielded, he gave me The water of life.

Chorus

O the water of life With salvation is rife, And the Savior gives freely This water of life.

Verse 2

In the service of sin I lost my good name; War without and within, No guerdon but shame; Then at last, when undone, I ceased the vain strife T' my soul, then from God's Son Came water of life.

Verse 3

This fountain of cleansing Is open to all Who, seeking the blessing, On Jesus Christ call. Now go to him, friendless, There's death in the strife, But bliss that is endless Thro' water of life.
