Living water

827 L. M.
The well of living water.

JESUS, the gift divine I know,
   The gift divine I ask of thee;
   The living water now bestow,
   Thy Spirit and thyself, on me.

2 For thou of life the fountain art,
   None else can give or take away;
   O may I find it in my heart,
   And with me may it ever stay.

3 Thus may I drink,—and thirst no more
   For drops of finite happiness;
   Spring up, O well, in heavenly power,
   In streams of pure perennial peace.
