4 It makes the Seed of Grace to grow, It mollifies our Earth; All such its influences know Who witness the new birth.
5 It heals the wounded Soul likewise, There's no disease within But by these Waters cured have been, O drink, and drink again!
5 It heals the wounded Soul likewise, There's no disease within But by these Waters cur'd have been, O drink, and drink agen!
6 O come unto these Waters ye Who very thirsty are! To all that come they are most free, O drink, and do not spare!
The Second Part. 1 Do not be foolish and mistake, To go to the wrong Well; These Waters 'tis that you must take, Which far, alas, excel 2 All Waters you can go unto; Ah! would you healed be? To Christ by his own Spirit come, And sickness soon will flee. 3 Ye Fools, what is't that you do drink? 'Tis puddle-water base, It stinks, 'tis filthy, God it loathes, O taste of his sweet grace, 4 And sinful joys will hateful be, And you will spue them up; Come taste a little Water: See! Come try! Take one small sup, 5 And you will say God's love, O 'tis Most pleasant to your taste!
