Living Waters. Jer. 2. 13; John 4. 10

1 Of cistern waters art thou sick,
  And loath’st the mire they bring?
  Then hither stretch thy thirsty neck,
  And taste a living spring.

2 A spring that issues from a rock,
  Where purest waters flow;
  And rocky hearts, by Moses struck,
  May to these waters go.

3 No spring will quench a thirst like this;
  It makes a conscience whole,
  Inspires the heart with heavenly bliss,
  And purifies the soul.

4 Whoe’er can truly say, “I thirst,”
  May come and take his fill;
  ’Tis free for sinners, vile and lost;
  ’Tis God who works the will.

5 [Its owner is a heavenly King;
  And by his winning ways,
  He draws the thirsty to his spring,
  Who drink and sing his praise.]

6 Lord, draw me by thy secret touch,
  Or backward I shall start;
  For sure I want entreating much,
  So fearful is my heart.
