All my life long I had panted For a draught from some cool spring, That I hoped would quench the burning Of the thirst I felt within. |
| Hallelujah! I have found Him Whom my soul so long has craved! Jesus satisfies my longings; Through His life I now am saved. |

Feeding on the husks around me, Till my strength was almost gone, Longed my soul for something better, Only still to hunger on. |

Poor I was, and sought for riches, Something that would satisfy, But the dust I gathered round me Only mocked my soul’s sad cry. |

Well of water, ever springing, Bread of life, so rich and free, Untold wealth that never faileth, My Redeemer is to me. |

All my life long I had panted
For a draught from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.

The line is correct in its context for when the song was written. To take a “draught” as expressed in english at the time was to draw - as to draw water from a spring. It’s not the same as drought, which is of course a lack of water.

Hello, I believe the second line on the first paragraph should read for a "drink" and not for a "draught." The word draught in this case contradicts the message.
God bless you.

I Have Found Him!
Has had been a really for me from Wednesday, July 1973 when He told me to "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."
It was scary! I cried out! And said "Hear yah, Whe- meh-a-mi?" Why me?
The truth is, I was desperately seeking for inner peace and He spoke the solution. I agreed within 3 days to surrendered to His request. And it's the best discission I had ever made.
