1 Flow on, thou sparkling river,
Whose waters glad and free,
In all their tranquil beauty,
Out waiting eyes shall see,
Amid you cloudless region,
So lovely, bright, and fair;
Flow on, O sparkling river,
Our hearts and homes are there.

Refrain:
Flow onward peacefully,
Onward in thy beauty ever bright;
We are coming joyfully,
Coming to that land of pure delight.

2 Flow on, thou sparkling river,
Through summer’s endless day;
Thy fields are clad in verdure
That never knows decay;
The tree of life bends o’er thee
Its fruitful branches fair;
Flow on, thou sparkling river,
Our treasured ones are there. [Refrain]

3 Flow on, thou sparkling river,
Where He, our Saviour King,
Beyond the silent valley
His faithful ones will bring;
The cross laid down forever,
The crown we then shall wear,
Flow on, thou sparkling river,
Through grace we’ll soon be there. [Refrain]
