The Well of Living Water

Verse 1

Jesus, the gift divine I know; The gift divine I ask of thee; That living water now bestow, Thy Spirit and thyself, on me; Thou, Lord, of life the fountain art, Now let me find thee in my heart.

Verse 2

Thee let me drink, and thirst no more For drops of finite happiness; Spring up, O Well, in heavenly power, In streams of pure perennial peace, In joy that none can take away, In life which shall for ever stay.

Verse 3

Father, on me the grace bestow, And make me blameless in thy sight, Whence all the streams of mercy flow; Mercy, thine own supreme delight, To me, for Jesus’ sake impart, And plant thy nature in my heart.
