Naught else can satisfy;
We need the living water
That cometh from on high.
Refrain:
Oh, come and take the water
He offers you today!
For still the Savior calleth,
Why will ye go away?
1 The fountain ever floweth,
Refreshing, pure and free.
Enough for all who need it,
Enough for you and me. [Refrain]
3 Whoever will, may take it,
For Christ the Savior’s sake;
But none may know the blessing,
Who will not come and take. [Refrain] Used With Tune: AMAZON Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B. Towner (Boston: The Pilgrim Press, 1899)
