191. Still in a Land of Drought and Dearth | C.M. |

|
| 1 | Still in a land of drought and dearth, | Psalm 63:1; Joshua 3:11; John 4:13-14 |
| Our longing spirits cry |
| To Thee, the Lord of heaven and earth, |
| Our thirst to satisfy. |
|
| 2 | O Thou with love more strong than death, | Song of Solomon 8:6-7; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Ephesians 2:8 |
| Unquenched by deepest waves; |
| We need throughout the walk of faith |
| The same free grace that saves. |
|
| 3 | We would not take from falsehood's fire, | John 18:18; Psalm 73:25; 1 John 1:5 |
| Though glittering be the spark; |
| Thou only art our heart's desire, |
| Art light where all is dark. |
|
| 4 | Dark unbelief alone can shroud | Hebrews 3:12; Revelation 22:5 |
| A Sun that sets no more; |
| And when Thy grace removes the cloud, |
| We see Thee as before. |
|
| 5 | We soon shall join the white-robed throng, | Revelation 3:4; 1 John 3:2; 1 Peter 1:8 |
| We soon shall walk by sight; |
| Till then by faith we raise the song, |
| By faith in Thee delight. |
