Author: J. E. Rankin Hymnal: Inspiring Songs No. 1 #99 (1906) First Line: I love the sweet water that runs in the rills Lyrics: 1 I love the sweet water that runs in the rills,
And rumbles and tumbles and whirls;
That beads in the raindrops and turns loud the mills,
And flashes all radiant with pearls.
Chorus:
Water for me!
Water for me!
No use for strong drink can I see;
Water for me!
Water for me!
There’s nothing that sweet can be.
2 I love the sweet water that comes in the dew,
And brightens the eyes of the flow’rs;
That clothes all the landscape with greeness anew,
And quickens earth’s slumbering pow’rs. [Chorus]
3 Sweet water, sweet water! ‘tis God that distils,
And surely he knows what is best;
It dances and glances in streamlets and rills,
And all his creation is blest. [Chorus]
