The Water of Life
Henry R. Trickett • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 17:1-7
Verse 1
In the desert of sorrow and sin, Lo! I faint as I journey along; With the warfare without and within, See my strength and my hope nearly gone.
Chorus
I thirst, let me drink, Of the life-giving stream let me drink; ’Tis the Rock, cleft for me, ’Tis the water, the water of life.
Verse 2
In my weakness I turn to the fount, From the Rock that was smitten for me; And I drink, and I joyfully count All my trials a blessing to be.
Chorus
I thirst, let me drink, Of the life-giving stream let me drink; ’Tis the Rock, cleft for me, ’Tis the water, the water of life.
Verse 3
O Thou God of compassion, I pray, Let me ever abide in Thy sight; Let me drink of the fount day by day, Till I join Thee in mansions of light.
Chorus
I thirst, let me drink, Of the life-giving stream let me drink; ’Tis the Rock, cleft for me, ’Tis the water, the water of life.
