The Fountain of Living Waters flows,
Ready to quench our thirst,
Why do ye hew out broken cisterns?
Broken cisterns that burst;
Drink from the Fount and be satisfied,
It will become a well,
Water springing to eternal life
From your being will swell.
Flowing like a river, swift, gentle
Lifting hearts with godsends,
Soothing with absolute forgiveness
Kindness’ ever defends
Drink of His life, His light, His sweet love
Know the meaning of grace
Silence every doubt with His promise
Feel His perfect embrace
Syllable count: 9.6.9.6
1st and 2nd stanzas are Jo’s

Jeremiah 2:13 - For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
John 4: 13,14 - Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
