“The streams ... make glad the city of God.” Ps. 46. 4

1 See, from Zion’s sacred mountain,
  Streams of living water flow;
  God has opened there a fountain,
  That supplies the plains below;
  They are blessèd
  Who its sovereign virtues know.

2 Through ten thousand channels flowing,
  Streams of mercy find their way;
  Life, and health, and joy bestowing,
  Making all around look gay;
  O believer!
  All thy sins are washed away.

3 Gladdened by the flowing treasure,
  All enriching as it goes;
  Lo, the desert smiles with pleasure,
  Buds and blossoms as the rose;
  Every sinner
  Sings for joy where’er it flows.

4 Trees of life the banks adorning,
  Yield their fruit to all around,
  Those who eat are saved from mourning;
  Pleasure comes and hopes abound;
  Fair their portion!
  Endless life with glory crowned.
