“Beneath Moriah’s rocky side
A gentle fountain springs;
Silent and soft its waters glide,
Like the peace the Spirit brings.
“The thirsty Arab stoops to drink
Of the cool and quiet wave;
And the thirsty spirit stops to think
Of Him who came to save.
“SILOAM is the fountain’s name,
It means, One sent from God;
And thus the holy Saviour’s fame
It gently spreads abroad.
“O, grant that I, like this sweet well,
May Jesus’ image bear;
And spend my life, my all, to tell
How full his mercies are!”
