With joy draw water from the spring;
salvation's living well.
The Holy One is in your midst;
glad praises sing and tell!

A shoot has sprung from Jesse's tree;
of God the chosen One.
A branch of knowledge and of truth;
a gift of love has come!

With love the poor will be received;
the proud will turn aside;
And faithfulness will be a path,
and righteousness the guide!

The wolf shall lie down with the lamb;
the calf and lion play.
God's peace shall dwell within the land;
a child shall show the way!

With joy draw water from the spring;
salvation's living well.
The Holy One is in your midst;
glad praises sing and tell!
