The well of life
Language: English
Drink deep from the Well of Life, And all thy thirst subdue, O see the gift of God, That can thy strength renew. Drink deep from the Well of Love, It is the only way To heal earth's broken hearts and turn Their darkness into day. Drink deep from the Fount of Truth, That purity may be, The keynote of the loving life To help humanity. Drink deep from the Well of Love, It is the only way, To heal earth's broken hearts and turn Their darkness into day.
