Clear as Crystal

Clear as crys­tal flows the riv­er

From the throne of God ab­ove;

’Tis the water pure

of eter­nal life

From the fount of end­less love.

Clear as crys­tal

clear as crys­tal

May Thy truth for­ev­er be;

Clear as crys­tal

clear as crys­tal

In our hearts

O Lord

from Thee.

Clear as crys­tal

like a jas­per

Is the heav’n­ly ci­ty’s light

As the wall ap­pears

and the pear­ly gates—

To the pil­grim’s rav­ished sight.

Clear as crys­tal

like the won­drous

Sea of glass be­fore the throne

Where the joy­ful cry ris­es day and night

To the glo­ri­ous Three in One.
