See, from Zion's sacred mountain

Verse 1

See, from Zion's sacred mountain Streams of living water flow: God has open'd there a fountain; This supplies the plains below: They are blesséd Who its sovereign virtues know.

Verse 2

Through ten thousand channels flowing, Streams of mercy find their way; Life, and health, and joy bestowing, Making all around look gay: Oh, ye nations, Hail the long-expected day!

Verse 3

Gladden'd by the flowing treasure All-enriching as it goes, Lo, the desert smiles with pleasure, Buds and blossoms as the rose, Ev'ry object Sings for joy where'er it flows.

Verse 4

Trees of life, the banks adorning, Yield their fruit to all around; Those who eat are saved from mourning, Pleasure comes and hopes abound: Fair their portion! Endless life with glory crown'd.
