Beneath Moriah’s rocky side
A gentle fountain springs,
Whose waters soft and silent glide
Like peace the Spirit brings.
The thirsty Arab stoops to drink
That cool and quiet wave;
O weary singer! Pause and 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 greatly 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.
