9256. The Flowing Water

1 O the stream of living water!
From the stricken Rock it flows,
Free to every son and daughter—
Cure for all our sins and woes!

Refrain:
O the water, flowing water,
All the thirsty to relieve;
Free to every son and daughter—
Come to Jesus, and receive!

2 Thro’ the wilderness we’re going,
To the land of promise fair;
Where the tree of life is growing,
By the river, flowing there! [Refrain]

3 Praise the Lord, I feel it flowing,
Rippling, singing, in my soul;
And my Christian strength is growing!
Jesus Christ hath made me whole! [Refrain]

4 Flowing on and on, forever,
To the sea of love, divine,
It shall know cessation never,
In this grateful heart of mine. [Refrain]
