Representative Text

1 Oh! there is a river whose fresh waters flow
O'er earth's broadest surface, a cure for all woe;
Its streams are all healing, there's life in each wave,
Oh, try it and prove it, 'tis mighty to save.
Hallelujah, Amen,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

2 Oh! drink of this river, its full crystal flood
Refreshes and lightens of sin's weary load;
Its ripples ne'er mix with the billows of strife,
This is the "Pure River of Water of Life."
Hallelujah, Amen,
Hallelujah, Amen,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

3 This beautiful river our boast well may be,
'Tis fresh, overflowing, and better, 'tis free!
The sin-sick rejoice in this "Peace-speaking" tide,
This River is Jesus, the "once crucified."
Hallelujah, Amen,
Hallelujah, Amen,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
