With joy I draw from out God’s well
Rich blessings day by day,
While living waters springing up
I find beside the way.
The blessed flow of this deep well
makes fruitful life abound;
A watered garden in the soul
Where-e’r this well is found.
As on I go with willing hands
And earnest heart to do,
Oft weary, ‘neath
the burder’s weight.
Where lab’rers are but few—
I pause to gather strength beside
The well that springeth up,
And from its fulness,
rich and pure,
I fill my empty cup.
Still on, amid a desert path
Where every spring is dry,
There, all alone,
my loved ones gone
To heaven I lift my cry:
When lo, upon my fainting sight,
As onward still I go,
Fair Elim breaks
with waving palms
And wells of crystal flow.
And then, as on my pathway leads
Through shadows, toil, and strife,
I reach a lowly, quiet vale—
A sheltered spot in life:
Within its shade,
where jarring notes
Of earthly discord cease,
I gather hearts-ease day by day
At God’s sweet well of peace.
