My soul today is thirsting
For living streams divine,
To sweep from highest Hea­ven
To this poor heart of mine;
I stand upon the promise,
In Je­sus’ name I plead;
O send the gracious current
To satisfy my need.

Refrain

Like a mighty sea,
Like a mighty sea,
Comes the love of Je­sus
Sweeping over me;
The waves of glo­ry roll,
The shouts I can’t control;
Comes the love of Je­sus
Sweeping o’er my soul.

I see the clouds arising,
The mercy clouds of love,
That come to bring refreshing
Down from the throne above,
The earnest of the shower,
Just now to us is giv’n,
And now we wait, expecting
The floods of grace from Heav’n.

Refrain

The show’rs of grace are falling,
The tide is rolling in,
The floodtide of sal­va­tion,
With power to cleanse from sin;
It’s surging through my being
And takes my sin away,
It keeps me shouting glo­ry!
Through all the happy day.

Refrain

It’s coming, yes, it’s coming,
It’s coming down this hour,
A torrent of sal­va­tion
In saving, cleansing power:
I hear the billows surging,
I see them mount and roll;
O glo­ry, hallelujah!
They’re sweeping through my soul.

Refrain
