1. 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.
(Chorus:)
  Hallelujah! I have found Him
  Whom my soul so long has craved!
  Jesus satisfies my longings;
  Through His life I now am saved.
2. Feeding on the husks around me,
  Till my strength was almost gone,
  Longed my soul for something better,
  Only still to hunger on.
3. 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.
(Chorus:)
  Hallelujah! I have found Him
  Whom my soul so long has craved!
  Jesus satisfies my longings;
  Through His life I now am saved.
4. Well of water, ever springing,
  Bread of life, so rich and free,
  Untold wealth that never faileth,
  My Redeemer is to me.
