I AM GLAD.
I am glad that I drank at the Fountain;
From its waters I found a relief:
And that stream from Calvary's mountain,
Have healed my affliction and grief.
From its waters I found a relief:
And that stream from Calvary's mountain,
Have healed my affliction and grief.
How I thirst when I roamed o'er the desert,
And viewed the oasis before:
I journeyed through heat and through sand-storm,
And oft for sweet waters deplored.
And viewed the oasis before:
I journeyed through heat and through sand-storm,
And oft for sweet waters deplored.
But at length I arrived at the Fountain,
Though footsore and blind from the sand;
Blessed stream of Calvary's mountain,
O'er the banks of the channel it ran.
Though footsore and blind from the sand;
Blessed stream of Calvary's mountain,
O'er the banks of the channel it ran.
I drank of it's life healing waters,
With a sparkle like pearl it did gleam,
My thirst was there quenched, and rejoicing,
I bathed in that life's given stream.
With a sparkle like pearl it did gleam,
My thirst was there quenched, and rejoicing,
I bathed in that life's given stream.
