For the Waters of Salvation

Verse 1

Fountain of life, to all below Let thy salvation roll, Water, replenish, and o'erflow Every believing soul.

Into that happy number, Lord, Us weary sinners take, Jesus, fulfil thy gracious word, For thy own mercy's sake.

Verse 3

Turn back our nature's rapid tide, And we shall flow to thee, While down the stream of time we glide To our eternity.

Verse 4

The well of life to us thou art, Of joy the swelling flood, Wafted by thee with willing heart We swift return to God.

Verse 5

We soon shall reach the boundless sea, Into thy fulness fall, Be lost and swallowed up in thee Our God, our All in All.
