THE LIVING WATER. JOHN IV, 10.

By Vesta N. Cudworth

AIR—Belle Brandon.

Spring up, O thou life-giving water, Within let thy pure wavelets gush; 'Till the withering and thirsting are over, And its achings and murmurings are hushed, 'Till holy desires ever springing, Are as pure as the river above, Where angels in glory are singing, Around the rich fountain of love.

'Neath thy sheltering wing I am folded, Where sweet dews encircle my soul; But I thirst for the inward baptism, And I plead that my joy may be full. Entwine round thy poor child of sorrow, That robe which is whiter than snow; Then come thou within to the banquet, My star in this desert of woe. VESTA N. CUDWORTH. Springfield, Mass.
