The Second Part.
This River when it swiftly runs With an impetuous stream, It drives the Soul to Jesus Christ, O there's no stopping them:
2 Trees that are planted by its side How sweetly do they grow? Like Willows by the Water-course And Drought such never know
3 This River brings things from afar. The best Navigation Is in this River to set out, 'Twill bring us to Salvation.
4 That Soul which doth employ himself, And work herein each day, He shall be rich eternally, And a blessed Sceptre sway.
4 That Soul which doth imploy himself, And work herein each day, He shall be rich eternally, And a bless'd Scepter sway.
