1 We know not a voice of that river,
If vocal or silent it be,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows to no sea.

2 More deep than the seas is that river,
More full than their manifold tides,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and abides.

3 O goodly the banks of that river,
O goodly the fruits that they bear,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and is fair.

4 For lo! on each bank of that river,
The tree that is life-giving grows,
Where forever and ever and ever
The pure river flows.

Amen.
