| She left her home that morn | B |
| In fair Samaria's land | C |
| All heedless of her state forlorn | B |
| Sin bound both heart and hand | C |
| With prejudicial pride | D |
| She scorned the meek request | E |
| Of One who sat the well beside | D |
| With heat and thirst opprest | D |
| Thou art a Jew she said | D |
| And asketh drink of me | F |
| Samaria's daughter was not bred | D |
| To deal with such as thee | F |
| She would not yield a sip | G |
| E'en if its maker sued | D |
| While he from love with thirsting lip | G |
| Sought and her heart renewed | D |
| He made her ask for life | H |
| Eternal life through him | I |
| And living water was the type | J |
| To her perception dim | I |
| O yes She fain would taste | D |
| And never thirst again | K |
| And never cross the burning waste | D |
| In weariness and pain | L |
| Her life he questioned now | M |
| Revealed her history | F |

| She must have blushed How could he know | N |
| Here was a mystery | F |

| Thou art a prophet sir | O |
| And straightway sought with clannish pride | D |
| Instruction's voice to hear | P |
| Instruction that will bless | Q |
| The world each passing day | D |
| For every spot man's feet may press | Q |
| There may he praise and pray | D |
| The woman lent her ear | P |
| Then urged Messiah's plea | F |
| Amazing words she now doth hear | P |
| I that speak unto thee am he | F |
| What joy The angels too | D |
| Must share it from above | R |
| She left her water pot and flew | D |
| On feet made swift by love | R |
| Oh will these tidings last | D |
| This news it must be spread | D |
| He knows my present knows my past | D |
| This is the Christ she said | D |
| That woman lost in sin | S |
| Drank of the living spring | T |
| Then swiftly sped dead souls to win | S |
| And to that fountain bring | T |
| - | |
| Forbid that we should shrink | U |
| To publish grace so free | F |
| For all who will that tide may drink | U |
| And live eternally | F |
| - | |
| They begged that he would stay | D |
| Believed the truths unfurled | D |
| And joyfully received that day | D |
| The Saviour of the world | D |
