Primary Scripture: John 6:27

Verse 1

Under the burdens of guilt and care Many a spirit is grieving, Who in the joy of the Lord might share, Life everlasting receiving.

Chorus

Life! life! eternal life! Jesus alone is the Giver; Life! life! abundant life! Glory to Jesus forever!

Verse 2

Burden'd one, why will you longer bear Sorrows from which He releases? Open your heart, and rejoicing share Life more abundant in Jesus.

Chorus

Life! life! eternal life! Jesus alone is the Giver; Life! life! abundant life! Glory to Jesus forever!

Verse 3

Leaving the mountain, the streamlet grows, Flooding the vale with a river; So from the hill of the Cross there flows Life more abundant for ever.

Chorus

Life! life! eternal life! Jesus alone is the Giver; Life! life! abundant life! Glory to Jesus forever!

Verse 4

O for the floods on the thirsty land! O for a mighty revival! O for a sanctified, fearless band! Ready to hail its arrival.

Chorus

Life! life! eternal life! Jesus alone is the Giver; Life! life! abundant life! Glory to Jesus forever!
