Text: | All My Life Long I Had Panted |
Author: | Clara T. Williams |
Tune: | SATISFIED |
Composer: | Ralph E. Hudson |
1 All my life long I had panted
For a drink from some cool 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. (Refrain)
3 Poor I was, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy;
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul's sad cry. (Refrain)
4 Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me. (Refrain)
