1. All my life long I had panted       For a draught from some
cool spring,     That I hoped would quench the burning       Of
the thirst I felt within.     • Hallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!       Jesus satisfies my
longings;         Through His life I now am saved.   2. Feeding
on the husks around me,       Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,       Only still to hunger
on.   3. Poor I was, and sought for riches,       Something that
would satisfy,     But the dust I gathered round me       Only
mocked my soul’s sad cry.   4. Well of water, ever springing,
  Bread of life, so rich and free,     Untold wealth that never
faileth,       My Redeemer is to me.
