Beside the well at noontime, I hear a sad one say, "I want that living water, Give me to drink I pray; The well is deep, O pilgrim, But deeper is my need; I thirst for life eternal, The Gift of God indeed." Ho, every one htat thirsteth, The living water buy! Ye blessed ones that hunger, Take eat and never die. Beside the pool Bethesda, I hear a mournful cry; "No help, no help is offered To one so weak as I;" Oh, cease thy sad complaining, The gospel gives thee cheer; Come to the house of mercy, For Christ the pool is here. 'Tis He, the great Physician, Can cure the sin-sick soul, "Rise up and walk," He bids thee, "Thy Faith hath made thee whole." While seated on the hillside, The hungry ones were fed, By Him who said most truly, "I am the living bread;" 'Tis he, the heavenly manna, Who doth our souls restore, By faith of Him partaking, We live forevermore. Ho, every one htat thirsteth, The living water buy! Ye blessed ones that hunger, Take eat and never die.
