17054. Where the Living Waters Flow

1. Rest to the wea­ry soul
And ach­ing breast is giv’n,
Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow;
Grace makes the wound­ed whole,
Love fills our hearts with Heav’n,
Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow.

Refrain

Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow,
Down where the tree of life doth grow,
I’m liv­ing in the light, for Je­sus now I fight,
Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow.

2. For thee, my soul, for thee,
These price­less joys were bought,
Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow;
Thine is the mer­cy free,
That Christ to earth has brought,
Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow.

Refrain

3. Come, with the ran­somed train,
The Savior’s prais­es sing,
Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow;
Rejoice! the Lamb was slain,
Adore! He reigns a king,
Down where the liv­ing wa­ters flow.

Refrain
