Author: M. Fraser Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 2 #39 (1899) First Line: I will give, Oh, blessed promise Refrain First Line: Let him take, O let him take Lyrics: 1 “I will give:” oh, blessed promise,
“I will give” life’s water free;
Thirsty souls, so dry and parched,
Come and quench your thirst in Me.
Refrain:
Let him take, O let him take,
Let him take of Christ so free;
It is He who offers pardon for the taking,
for the taking, offers pardon to thee.
2 He that tastes life’s wondrous water
Thirst again shall never know;
But a spring of joy within him
Shall in streams of blessing flow. [Refrain]
3 Hear His voice, ye fever-stricken;
To the fountain haste away;
Of its river pure, oh, drink ye;
It will slake your thirst for aye. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation; Promises Scripture: John 4:10 Tune Title: [I will give, Oh, blessed promise]
