What is the thing that I long for?

What is my hope or my desire?

How I crave to follow the Lamb

And His image to adopt.

All my hope, Lord on Thee is stayed

I long to be the one you love

I want to be saved here on earth

And fellowship with Thee above.

I hunger for the Lord of life

Who died for me, on Calvary

For the source of water and blood

That from Thy wounded side which flow’d.

I desire Thy water of love

Spirit of joy that’s yet unknown

Grant that I may yet drink above

As it does stream forth from Thy throne.
