Deep is Thy well of life and love
A cistern in thy midst
Water living that giveth breath
Waiting you to sift

Come to Thee unto Thy well
Where fountains and springs do flow
Gather buckets and bring thy ropes
To draw the water below.

Let thy ropes drop so deep
Till living water’s felt
Fill thy buckets till overflow
And drink till nothing’s left.

Much is waiting underneath
For you to quench thy thirst
But you must come with open hearts
And draw the water first.
