The Water Of Life

Author: J. Dudley Ferguson Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O the joy—tell it out Refrain First Line: O the water of life Lyrics: 1 O the joy—tell it out, My soul’s victory; I must raise my glad shout, The Lord hath blessed me; He whispered, I love thee, Why keep up the strife? I yielded, He gave me The water of life. Refrain: O the water of life With salvation is rife, And the Savior gives freely, This water of life. 2 In the service of sin I lost my good name; War without and within, No guerdon but shame; Then at last, when undone, I ceased the vain strife; T’my soul, then from God’s Son Came water of life. [Refrain] 3 This fountain of cleansing Is open to all Who, seeking the blessing, On Jesus Christ call; Now go to Him, friendless, There’s death in the strife, But bliss that is endless Thro’ water of life. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O the joy—tell it out] Text Sources: Songs of Free Grace by Daniel B. Towner (Cincinnati: Cranston & stonew, 1883)
