THE WELL OF LIVING WATER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Jesus, the gift divine I know
Last Line: In streams of pure perennial peace.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, the gift divine I know,
The gift divine I ask of Thee;
The living water now bestow,
Thy Spirit and thyself, on me.

For Thou of life the fountain art,
None else can give or take away;
O may I find it in my heart,
And with me may it ever stay.

Thus may I drink--and thirst no more
For drops of finite happiness;
Spring up, O well, in heavenly power,
In streams of pure perennial peace.
