Lyrics from Deseret Sunday School Songs, 1909 (no. 43)
1. O if for me the cup you fill,
Then fill it from the gushing rill,
With sparkling water, pure and bright,
As clear as truth, and free as light.
Chorus.
O if for me the cup you fill,
Then fill it from the gushing rill;
O if for me the cup you fill,
Then fill it from the gushing rill.
2. Pass not to me the mantling brim,
Where dancing bubbles gaily swim;
For in each shining crystal round,
A deadly lurking fiend is found.
3. Speak not to me of rosy wine,
Of nectar cups, or draughts divine;
The taste of bitter tears is there,
The tears of grief, and dark despair.
