Couldest Thou Not Watch?

KATE W. BUCK

Praise

LAURA GERAHTY

I am so thankful, Lord of love, to knowThat ceaselessly Thy living waters flow;E'en though another find the fountain first,Or with a readier cup allay his thirst,Still on I press, rejoicingly, and knowThat for each one those living water flow.
