All my life long I had panted
一生渴慕我能飲於
For a draught from some cool spring,
一個清涼的泉源，
That I hoped would quench the burning
得以解除裏面所感
Of the thirst I felt within.
火燒一般的渴乾。

Hallelujah! I have found Him
阿利路亞！我已得到
Whom my soul so long has craved!
我心久所渴慕者！
Jesus satisfies my longings;
基督滿足我的願望，
Thro’ His life I now am saved.
藉祂生命救了我。

Feeding on the husks around me,
前吃豆莢勉以充飢，
Till my strength was almost gone,
直到力量幾消沒；
Longed my soul for something better,
我雖嚮往較佳食物，
Only still to hunger on.
結果仍然忍飢餓。

Poor I was, and sought for riches,
我前貧窮，尋求豐富，
Something that would satisfy,
使我飢餓得滿足，
But the dust I gathered round me
但我所得一切糞土，
Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.
只使我求受侮辱。

Well of water, ever springing,
活水之泉湧流不息，
Bread of life, so rich and free,
生命的糧可白得；
Untold wealth that never faileth,
難言豐富，永無不足，
My Redeemer is to me.
我的救主之於我。
