601. Jesus, the gift divine I know

1 Jesus, the gift divine I know;
The gift divine I ask of thee;
That living water now bestow,
Thy Spirit and thyself, on me;
Thou, Lord, of life the fountain art,
Now let me find thee in my heart.

2 Thee let me drink, and thirst no more
For drops of finite happiness;
Spring up, O Well, in heavenly power,
In streams of pure perennial peace,
In joy that none can take away,
In life which shall for ever stay.

3 Father, on me the grace bestow,
And make me blameless in thy sight,
Whence all the streams of mercy flow;
Mercy, thine own supreme delight,
To me, for Jesus’ sake impart,
And plant thy nature in my heart.
