Author: James Conner Bateman (1855-88); Russell Kelso Carter (1849-1926) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #374 (1986) First Line: Once I was far in sin Lyrics: 1 Once I was far in sin, But Jesus took me in, Down where the living waters flow; ‘Twas there he gave me sight, And let me see the light, Down where the living waters flow. Refrain: Down where the living waters flow, Down where the tree of life does grow; I’m living in the light, For Jesus now I fight, Down where the living waters flow. 2 With Jesus at my side, I need no other guide, Down where the living waters flow; He is my hope and stay, He saves me every day, Down where the living waters flow. 3 When fighting here is o’er, I’ll rest for evermore, Down where the living waters flow; I’ll join the blood-washed throng, And sing the angels’ sang, Down where the living waters flow.
