Wide as the stretch of human woe,
Those death consuming waters flow,
Spring up, oh well, be this my theme,
Thou water sweet of Bethlehem.
To cheer when faint, when sick to heal,
Its wondrous virtues must prevail.
My sins to crush, my fears to quell,
Spring up, oh stream from Bethlehem
-The Sweet Well of Bethlehem, The Gadsby Hymnal
