Ho, Every One That Thirsteth

Duet

Beside the well at noon­time

I hear a sad one say:

I want that liv­ing wa­ter

Give me to drink

I pray;

The well is deep

O pil­grim

But deep­er is my need

I thirst for life eter­nal

The Gift of God indeed.

Ho

ev­ery one that thirst­eth

The liv­ing wa­ter buy!

Ye bless­èd ones that hun­ger

Take

eat and nev­er die.

Duet

Beside the pool Be­thes­da

I hear a mourn­ful cry:

No help

no hope is of­fered

To one so weak as I;

Oh

cease thy sad com­plain­ing

The Gos­pel gives thee cheer;

Come to the house of mer­cy

For Christ the pool is here.

’Tis He

the great Phy­si­cian

Can cure the sin-sick soul;

Rise up and walk

He bids thee

Thy faith has made thee whole.

Duet

While seat­ed on the hill­side

The hun­gry ones were fed

By Him who said most tru­ly:

I am the liv­ing bread;

’Tis He

the heav­en­ly man­na

Who doth our souls re­store;

By faith of Him par­tak­ing

We live for­ev­er more.

Ho

ev­ery one that thirst­eth

The liv­ing wa­ter buy!

Ye bless­èd ones that hun­ger

Take

eat and nev­er die.
