THANK GOD FOR WATER.
DRINK, pretty creature, drink,
The mountain spring was made for you;
The early rain, the evening dew,
Are drops of mercy, daily new,
From God who careth thus for you.
Drink, pretty creature, drink.
Drink, pretty creature, drink,
The mountain brook, or wayside lake,
Or bubbling spring, our thirst may slake,
And teach thanksgiving as we take
His mercies, who, for our dear sake,
Fills all with good our life to make.
Drink, pretty creature, drink.
Myrtle.
