There's a River, pure and lovely,
Springing forth from realms unseen,
Bearing joy through Heaven's City,
Raining grace on earth beneath.
Crystal River, water holy,
Where the whitest lily grows,
Crystal River, ever flowing
From the Lamb and Father's throne.
Shining pools of peace and comfort,
Shimm'ring waves of sheer delight,
Glorious fount of truth and counsel,
Gleaming depths of mercy bright.
Crystal River, water holy,
Where the whitest lily grows,
Crystal River, ever flowing
From the Lamb and Father's throne.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on heaven's shore.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall sing forevermore.
Here I come, for You have called me.
Here I bathe my weary feet.
Here my heart is cleansed and strengthened;
Endless life wells up in me!
Crystal River, water holy,
Where the whitest lily grows,
Crystal River, ever flowing
From the Lamb and Father's throne.
Crystal River, water holy,
Where the whitest lily grows,
Crystal River, ever flowing
From the Lamb and Father's throne.
From the Lamb and Father's throne.
