Lyrics

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 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.

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.

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.
