A flowing river and a tree

A flowing river and a tree

Eden’s outstanding features are

Man to supply with food and drink

That he may live fore’er.

God is in Christ to be my supply

God as the Spirit nourisheth me;

If upon Christ in spirit I feed

Filled with His life I’ll be.

The tree the glorious Christ does show

As living food to man supplied

That he God’s riches may enjoy

Thus to be satisfied.

The river does the Spirit show

Coming man’s spirit to supply

That with God’s riches he be filled

Holy to be thereby.

The Christ of glory is my life

He as the Spirit lives in mine

That I with God be fully blent

And in His image shine.

I would exalt this glorious Christ

Ever the Spirit I’d obey

Making His glory fully known

Filled with His grace for aye.
