A Pool in the Wilderness
The Lord Everlasting,
The Creator of All,
Giveth strength to the weary,
And lifts them
that fall.
Thy
God is e’er with thee,
So be not dismayed;
He will uphold thee
When
thou art afraid.
When
the poor are athirst,
He maketh rivers to flow;
And fountains in valleys
On them He’ll bestow.
In wilderness dry
He placeth a pool
With wellsprings of water,
Refreshing
and cool.
Thou
hast trusted the Lord
And walked in His ways;
May His water sustain thee
The rest of thy days!

Isaiah
41:17 When the poor and needy seek water,
and there is none,
and their tongue faileth for thirst,
I the LORD will hear them, I the
God of Israel will not
forsake them. 18 I will open rivers in high places,
and
fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the
wilderness
a pool of water,
and the dry land springs of water.
