O have you not heard of that beau­ti­ful stream
That flows through our Fa­ther’s land?
Its wa­ters gleam bright in the hea­ven­ly light,
And rip­ple o’er gold­en sand.

Refrain

O seek that beau­ti­ful stream,
O seek that beau­ti­ful stream;
Its wa­ters, so free, are flow­ing for thee,
O seek that beau­ti­ful stream.

Its fount­ains are deep and its wa­ters are pure;
And sweet to the wea­ry soul;
It flows from the throne of Je­ho­vah alone!
O come where its bright waves roll.

Refrain

This beau­ti­ful stream is the river of life!
It flows for all na­tions free!
A balm for each wound in its wa­ter is found;
O sin­ner, it flows for thee!

Refrain

O will you not drink of this beau­ti­ful stream,
And dwell on its peace­ful shore?
The Spir­it says, Come, all ye wea­ry ones, home,
And wan­der in sin no more.

Refrain
