16904. Come, Drink Of The Water

1 Oh, won­drous words that Je­sus spake
To thirs­ty souls, a sweet re­frain;
"Who drinks the draught that I shall give,
Shall nev­er thirst again."

Refrain:
Come, drink of the wa­ter,
Come drink of the wa­ter of life;
Who drinks of the wa­ter that Christ shall give
Shall nev­er­more thirst, but ev­er­more live;
Come drink of the wa­ter of life.

2 Wondrous the words, more won­drous still
That pro­mise doth for us re­main,
And we may of the wa­ter drink,
And nev­er thirst again. [Refrain]

3 Ye souls athirst for life and peace,
Let not this mes­sage come in vain;
But quick­ly take the cleans­ing draught,
And nev­er thirst again. [Refrain]
