THE SONG OF WATER.
Let others sing the praises,
Of the rosy, sparkling wine;
I sing a song of the water,
The bright and beautous water,
That comes from the hand Divine.
Of the rosy, sparkling wine;
I sing a song of the water,
The bright and beautous water,
That comes from the hand Divine.
Chorus.—
Ho! every one that thirsteth,List to the song I sing:
Drink water, only water,
The blessed, healing water,
The cool and gushing water,
Fresh from a living spring.
God spreads the bounteous water
O'er all the world so wide;
In waterfalls 'tis gushing,
From sea to sea 'tis rushing,
In a bounding, heaving tide.
O'er all the world so wide;
In waterfalls 'tis gushing,
From sea to sea 'tis rushing,
In a bounding, heaving tide.
Chorus.—
Ho! every one that thirsteth, &c.
'Tis water brings us gladness,
And health is in its flow;
But wine, like fire, is burning,
And from it there's no turning,
Till it has wrought us woe.
And health is in its flow;
But wine, like fire, is burning,
And from it there's no turning,
Till it has wrought us woe.
Chorus.—
Ho! every one that thirsteth, &c. | Hagar | |
