| Thou gavest also Thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not Thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. (Neh. 9:20) |
| They thirsted not when He led them through the deserts: He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. (Isa. 48:21) |
Still in a land of drought and dearth,
Our longing spirits cry
To Thee, the Lord of heaven and earth,
Our thirst to satisfy. |
We would not take from falsehood’s fire,
Though glittering be the spark;
Thou only art our heart’s desire,
Art light where all is dark. |
