It was more than human thirst,
Led the Saviour to the well;
hearts sometimes will almost burst,
With a longing they can't tell.
And the one who knew and sees,
And who spares the sparrows fall;
Diagnosed this girls disease,
When he bade the Saviour call.
God filled up her empty heart,
With a spring that would not fail,
Yes, her medicine must smart,
But she left him strong and hale.
Pause Oh, Sinner stop and think,
And if foul your mug with mould;
Ask your Saviour for a drink,
And lifes beauty you'll behold.
Thought your life is black as ink,
Life eternal is a prize,
Come, ye to the fountian brink
Christ your Saviour stands and cries.
H.E.Crane

drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water." John
4:10"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." John 4:14
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Rev. 22:17
