1. Quench my thirst, O son of dusty complexion
And take me as a son to you

2. Give me to drink it pure
Born before Adam's creation

3. It existed while naught did but
The earth and the heavens above

4. It saw time grow from infancy
To tottering old age worn

5. It's a free spirit parted
From flesh and blood

6. Give it me to drink and sing
In your sweetest voice blessings untold

7. No words of blame or rebuke
Shall describe it, not at all
