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.

Refrain:
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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
