Tune: St Stephen [Series: Hymns to Saints Tunes 6]
('In Christ there is no east or west')
John 4 v.10-14
**********
Jesus said to woman at well
If you knew, I you tell
Knew the gift of God, and do say
Give me to drink this day
Then would you have asked of Him, He
Would have given you, see
Living water, then the woman
Said, How will you draw then?
For the well is deep, how avail
You water with no pail
From where have you living water?
Do reveal to us sure
Are you greater than Jacob? he
Our ancestor true be
He gave us this well, from it drank
To God for it gave thanks
Jesus said, Who drinks from this well
Shall thirst again, I tell
But who drinks of water I give
Shall never thirst, shall live
Water I shall give them shall be
A well of water free
Springing up in them, e'erlasting
Life it shall to them bring

Always loved this allegory Orchi. Nicely written too with great rhyme and meter I would gladly sing it but I'm afraid I would scare off the woman.
Thank you SB. lol.
My pleasure
BREAKING NEWS FROM WCAT, ORCHI! Popeyeus Glug Maximus Solus has declared the Vatican's plumbing a matter of international security! Obi-Wan has been dispatched to investigate, Ol' Tom is knitting “emergency” towels (sure he is 😉), and the Bater family has been appointed to the newly established Department of Holy Gluggery! Asked whether the situation was under control, WCAT issued its official statement: WCAT, of course! 🤣🌹🖤🐦⬛
Thank you T. I knew WCAT would be no use - they never (and can't) tell us anything. lol.
