Ho, every one that is thirsty in spirit,
Ho, every one that is weary and sad;
Come to the fountain, there’s fulness in Jesus,
All that you’re longing for, come and be glad.
Refrain:
“I will pour water on him that is thirsty,
I will pour floods upon the dry ground;
Open your heart for the gift I am bringing;
While you are seeking Me, I will be found.”
Child of the world, are you tired of your bondage?
Weary of earth-joys, so false, so untrue?
Thirsting for God and His fulness of blessing?
List to the promise, a message for you!
Child of the Kingdom, be filled with the Spirit!
Nothing but fulness thy longing can meet:
‘Tis the enduement for life and for service;
Thine is the promise, so certain, so sweet.
Although this hymn is in the Redemption hymnal, I hadn't noticed it there...
Written by Lucy Rider Meyer born in Vermont, 1849, died in 1922.
