Drink! A river pure and clear that’s flowing from the throne

lyricist: M. C.
Composer: Traditional American melody

Drink! A river pure and clear that’s flowing from the throne;

Eat! The tree of life with fruits abundant

richly grown;

Look! No need of lamp nor sun nor moon to keep it bright

for

Here there is no night!

Do come

oh

do come

Says Spirit and the Bride:

Do come

oh

do come

Let him that heareth

cry.

Do come

oh

do come

Let him who thirsts and will

Take freely the water of life!

Christ

our river

Christ

our water

springing from within;

Christ

our tree

and Christ

the fruits

to be enjoyed therein

Christ

our day

and Christ

our light

and Christ

our morningstar:

Christ

our everything!

We are washing all our robes the tree of life to eat;

“O Lord

Amen

Hallelujah!”—Jesus is so sweet!

We our spirits exercise

and thus experience Christ.

What a Christ have we!

Now we have a home so bright that outshines the sun

Where the brothers all unite and truly are one.

Jesus gets us all together

Him we now display

In the local church.
