We know not a voice of that river

Verse 1

We know not a voice of that river, If vocal or silent it be, Where forever and ever and ever It flows to no sea.

Verse 2

More deep than the seas is that river, More full than their manifold tides, Where forever and ever and ever It flows and abides.

Verse 3

O goodly the banks of that river, O goodly the fruits that they bear, Where forever and ever and ever It flows and is fair.

Verse 4

For lo! on each bank of that river, The tree that is life-giving grows, Where forever and ever and ever The pure river flows.

Verse 5

Amen.
