1 This River flows from God above, It from his Throne proceeds, And sweetly too this way doth move, It many millions feeds.
1 THis River flows from God above, It from his Throne proceeds, And sweetly too this way doth move, It many millions feeds.
2 These Waters purge from filthiness, Come wash and be you clean; It makes the barren Soul flourish, And spread his Branches green.
3 It's cooling to a sweating Soul That Satan hunts about; 'Twill quench the fire of lusts within, It does allay our drought.
4 It makes the Seed of Grace to grow, It mollifies our Earth; All such its influences know Who witness the new birth.
