All my life-long I had panted
For a drink from some clear spring
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within
Chorus:
Hallelujah I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved
Jesus satisfies my longings
Thro' His blood I now am saved
Feeding on the husks around me
Till my strength was almost gone
Longed my soul for something better
Only still to hunger on Chorus
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 Chorus
Well of water ever springing
Bread of life so rich and free
Untold wealth that never faileth
My Redeemer is to me Chorus
