All my life long I had panted For a draught from some cool spring, That I hoped would quench the burning Of the thirst I felt within. |
| Hallelujah! I have found Him Whom my soul so long has craved! Jesus satisfies my longings; Through His life I now am saved. |

Feeding on the husks around me, Till my strength was almost gone, Longed my soul for something better, Only still to hunger on. |

Poor I was, and sought for riches, Something that would satisfy, But the dust I gathered round me Only mocked my soul’s sad cry. |

Well of water, ever springing, Bread of life, so rich and free, Untold wealth that never faileth, My Redeemer is to me. |

Stanza 4 is a powerful summary of standard 1, 2 and 3. God bless the writer and every heart that has encountered Jesus as Lord and saviour. Even those who are yet to tell this beautiful testimony. “Hallelujah I have found Him. Whom my soul so long has craved.”

This is my testomony and praise to the LORD for his SALVATION ! It describes my whole life untill I found the LORDJESUS CHRIST at the age of 25. Or rather untill He found me a lost sinner. The last line of the chorus should read:
Through his Blood I now am saved. On the Cross He took my death sentence for the wages of sin is death. " But God commendeth his live toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified through his BLOOD , we shall be saved from wrath through Him." Rom. 5:8-11.
Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

I like these songs :)
All my life long I had panted
For a draught from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.

The line is correct in its context for when the song was written. To take a “draught” as expressed in english at the time was to draw - as to draw water from a spring. It’s not the same as drought, which is of course a lack of water.

Hello, I believe the second line on the first paragraph should read for a "drink" and not for a "draught." The word draught in this case contradicts the message.
God bless you.
