| Text: | Blessed River |
| Author: | Bonar |
| Tune: | [Forth from the throne of glory] |
| Composer: | William W. Bentley |
1 Forth from the throne of glory
Bright in its crystal gleam,
Bursts out the living fountain,
Swells on the living stream.
Chorus:
Blessed River, let me ever
Feast my eyes on thee.
Blessed River, let me ever
Feast my eyes on thee.
2 Stream full of life and gladness,
Spring of all health and peace,
No harps by thee hang silent,
Nor happy voices cease. [Chorus]
3 River of God I greet thee,
Not now afar but near;
My soul to thy still waters
Hastes in its thirsting here. [Chorus]
