 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.

 

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!

 
 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.

 

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!
