I’ll sing of a ri­ver di­vine,
Its wa­ters from trou­ble r­elease;
More pre­cious than ho­ney and wine,
That ri­ver, sweet ri­ver is peace.

Refrain

O this ri­ver of peace
Makes me per­fect and whole;
And its bless­ings in­crease,
Flowing deep in my soul.

’Tis flow­ing from Hea­ven to earth,
It is­sues from un­der the throne;
Great peace! O thy in­fi­nite worth!
Sweet peace in my Je­sus alone.

Refrain

O won­der­ful life-giv­ing flood,
Thy wa­ters so crys­tal and pure
Make glad all the Ci­ty of God;
Forever thy bless­ings en­dure.

Refrain

O Je­sus! the tem­pest of sin
Is hushed in­to hea­ven­ly rest
Since tast­ing the pure liv­ing stream
That flows from Thy cru­ci­fied breast.

Refrain

My mo­ments, as an­gels ap­pear,
All glid­ing so gent­ly along,
Each drop­ping a bless­ing so rare,
Enraptures my soul with a song.
