O ye Wells, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

O ye Wells, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.

O Wells and Springs, where'er ye flow,
Bless God with your sweet undersong;
His ceaseless praises bear along,
Rippling and tinkling as ye go:
What though your voice is soft and low,
'Tis musical your flowers among:
O Wells and Springs, where'er ye flow,
Bless God with your sweet undersong.
When fainting with the noonday glow,
Some traveller quaffs you, and is strong;
When under midnight's shining throng

133

A mirror to some star ye show:
O Wells and Springs, where'er ye flow,
Bless God with your sweet undersong.
