Isaiah viii. 6.

Beneath Moriah's rocky side

A gentle fountain springs,

Silent and soft its waters glide,

Like the peace the Spirit brings.

The thirsty Arab stoops to drink

Of the cool and quiet wave,

And the thirsty spirit stops to think

Of Him who came to save.

Siloam is the fountain's name,

It means "One sent from God;"

And thus the holy Saviour's fame

It gently spreads abroad.

O grant that I, like this sweet well,

May Jesus' image bear,

And spend my life, my all, to tell

How full His mercies are.

Foot of Carmel, June 1839.
