Fresh from the Throne of Glory

lyricist: Horatius Bonar, 1859
Composer: Robert Lowry (1826–1899)

Fresh from the throne of glo­ry

Bright in its crys­tal gleam

Bursts out the liv­ing fount­ain

Swells on the liv­ing stream;

Blessèd riv­er

let me ev­er

Feast my eyes on thee;

Blessèd riv­er

let me ev­er

Feast my eyes on thee.

Stream full of life and glad­ness

Spring of all health and peace

No harps by thee hang si­lent

Nor hap­py voic­es cease;

Tranquil riv­er

let me ev­er

Sit and sing by thee;

Tranquil riv­er

let me ev­er

Sit and sing by thee.

River of God

I greet thee

Not now afar

but near

My soul to Thy still wa­ter

Hastes in its thirst­ings here;

Holy riv­er

let me ev­er

Drink of on­ly thee;

Holy riv­er

let me ev­er

Drink of on­ly thee.
