1. To the waters of life, take the vessel of pray’r;
There are joys everlasting awaiting thee there;
Let thy Savior in mercy, thy steps gently lead,
From the wells of salvation supplying thy need.
(Chorus) Haste away, haste away, thirsty soul,
Haste away, haste away, bright currents roll;
To the waters of life, take the vessel of pray’r;
There are joys everlasting awaiting thee there.
2. To the waters of life, take the vessel of thine;
Bring it up brimming over with blessings divine;
Whosoever is willing the welcome will hear
Ringing down thro’ the ages in tones sweet and clear.
3. To the waters of life, take the vessel a anew.
Bear away for thy neighbor a rich blessing too;
For the Master who never will slumber nor sleep,
Bids us draw when we will from the well-spring so deep.
