Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns First Line: Bless'd Jesus, source of grace divine Lyrics: 1 Bless'd Jesus, source of grace divine
What soul-refreshing streams are thine!
O bring these healing waters nigh,
Or we must droop, and fall, and die.
2 No traveller thro' desert lands,
’Midst scorching suns, and burning sands,
More needs the current to obtain,
Or to enjoy refreshing rain.
3 Our longing souls aloud would sing,
Spring up, celestial fountain, spring;
To a redundant river flow,
And cheer this thirsty land below.
4 May this blest torrent near my side,
Thro' all the desert gently glide;
Then in Immanuel’s land above,
Spread to a sea of joy and love! Topics: The Influences and Graces of the Spirit; Influences of the Spirit; Influences of the spirit Compared to living water; Spirit of God Scripture: John 4:10 Languages: English
