:

2 O water, life-bestowing,

Forth from the Saviour's heart,

A fountain purely flowing,

A fount of love Thou art:

O let us, freely tasting,

Our burning thirst assuage; Thy sweetness, never wasting, Avails from age to age.

3 Jesus, this feast receiving,
We Thee unseen adore;
Thy faithful word believing,
We take, and doubt no more:
Give us, Thou true and loving,
On earth to live in Thee;
Then, death the veil removing,
Thy glorious face to see.

Anon. (Latin, c. 17th cent.). Tr. Rev. RAY PALMER, 1858
