54. To the Waters of Life

1 To the waters of life take the vessel of pray'r
There are joys everlasting awaiting thee there;
Let thy Saviour in mercy thy steps gently lead,
From the wells of salvation supplying thy need.

Chorus:
Haste away, haste away, thirsty soul,
Haste away, haste away, bright currents roll;
To the waters of life take the vessel of pray'r;
There are joys everlasting awaiting thee there.

2 To the waters of life take that vessel of thine,
Bring it up brimming over with blessing divine;
Whosoever is willing the welcome will hear,
Bringing down thro' the ages in tones sweet and clear. [Chorus]

3 To the waters of life take the vessel anew,
Bear away for thy neighbor a rich blessing, too;
For the Master, who never will slumber nor sleep,
Bids us draw when we will from the well-spring so deep. [Chorus]
