The Sacred Stream

Verse 1

There is a stream whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God; Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, And wat’ring our divine abode.

Chorus

Flow on silent river, flow on, flow forever! Thy waters shall fail us never, Flow, flow, flow!

Verse 2

That sacred stream, Thy holy Word, Supports our faith, our fears controls; Sweet peace Thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls.

Verse 3

Loud may the troubled ocean roar: In sacred peace our souls abide; While ev’ry nation, ev’ry shore Trembles and dreads the swelling tide.
