Casual Protestant vibes...
From what I've seen in my research, this song was written by Mary Artemisia Lathbury, which is why it's classified as a Methodist song because that's what she seemed to be.
The song is listed on her Hymnary.org page as "Spring up, O well, spring up," which when googled brings up this song.
Lathbury was born on August 10, 1841, in Manchester, New York. Her father and her two brothers were Methodist ministers. As a child, she enjoyed reading, writing, and illustrating poems that she wrote herself. She was originally an artist and also taught art in Vermont and New York schools, but later transitioned more towards religious work and writing. She was the general editor of materials for the Methodist Sunday School. Lathbury said that she became involved with Christian service full-time because God said to her, "Remember, my child, that you have a gift of weaving fancies into verse and a gift with the pencil of producing visions that come to your heart; consecrate these to Me as thoroughly as you do your inmost spirit".
