All my life long I had panted
For a draught from some clear spring
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within
Refrain
Hallelujah, I have found him whom my soul so long has craved
Jesus satisfies my longings
Thro’ His blood I now am saved
2.
Feeding on the husks around me
Till my strength was almost gone
Longed my soul for something better
Only still to hunger on
3.
Poor I was and sought for riches
Something that would satisfy
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked mu soul’s sad cry
4.
Well of waters ever springing
Bread of life so rich and free
Untold wealth that never faileth
My Redeemer is to me
Amen
