|  | 1. | I thirsted in the barren land of Babylon | 
|  |  | And nothing satisfying there I found; | 
|  |  | But to the blessed local church one day I came, | 
|  |  | Where springs of living water do abound. | 
|  |  | Drinking at the springs of living water, | 
|  |  | Happy now am I, | 
|  |  | My heart they satisfy; | 
|  |  | Drinking at the springs of living water, | 
|  |  | O wonderful and bountiful supply! | 
|  | 2. | How sweet the living water from the hills of | 
|  |  | God, | 
|  |  | It's flowing in and flowing out of me; | 
|  |  | O now I've found the place for which I long | 
|  |  | had sought, | 
|  |  | Where there is life and life abundantly. | 
|  | 3. | O brother, won't you gather in the local | 
|  |  | church? | 
|  |  | A fountain here is flowing deep and wide. | 
|  |  | The Shepherd now would bring you to the | 
|  |  | local church, | 
|  |  | Where thirsty spirits can be satisfied. |
