120. Blessed River

1 Forth from the throne of glory,
Bright in its crystal gleam,
Bursts out the living Fountain,
Swells on the living Stream.

Refrain:
Blessed River, let me ever
Feast my soul on Thee,
Blessed River, let me ever
Feast my soul on Thee.

2 Stream, full of life and gladness,
Spring of all health and peace,
No harps by Thee hand silent,
Nor happy voices cease. [Refrain]

3 River of God I greet Thee,
Not now afar, but near;
My soul to Thy still waters,
Hastes in its thirsting here. [Refrain]
