A mighty flowing-out is God

lyricist: N. N.
Composer: Martin Luther

A mighty flowing-out is God

He flows throughout the ages.

And so to flow Himself to man

He is in many stages;

Yet still one God is He

One flow eternally;

His stages pave the way

To flow through man today

And now He flows within us!

In the beginning we can see

God as a flowing river

The river to convey the tree

Himself as life deliver.

And at the end the same

The river doth remain

God in the Lamb doth flow

The tree prevails to grow

And God flows on forever.

God flowed Himself into a man

The man we call Christ Jesus.

He gave up His own life for man

And God’s own life releases.

Though Satan did his best

To put God’s flow to rest—

He had Him crucified

And cruelly pierced His side—

But out came blood and water!

The blood and water flowed from Him

In streams of pure salvation.

The blood brings cleansing from all sin;

Water

regeneration.

And now the Spirit flows

Brings God where’er He goes.

All he could do

the foe

Was just release the flow.

And God just keeps on flowing.
