251 Rivers of Living Water

7.7.8.7.  with chorus.

Rivers of living water,

Rivers that flow from the throne,

Rivers o'erflowing with blessing,

Coming from Jesus alone.

CHORUS:

Rivers of living water,

Rivers of life so free,

Flowing from Thee, my Savior,

Send now the rivers through me.

2 Whoso is thirsty come hither,

Here is abundant supply;

Water transparent as crystal,

Come without money and buy.

3 Cleanse me, oh. cleanse me, my Savior,

Make me a channel today;

Empty me, fill me and use me,

Teach me to trust and obey.

4 Then, and then only, Lord Jesus,

Through me the rivers can flow;

Thus and thus only will others

Learn Thy great fulness to know.

5 Now I surrender to Jesus,

Here I lay all at His feet;

Anything, anywhere only,

Just for His service made meet!
