Gloria in Excelsis ‎#47

47. Rivers Are Flowing

1 Rivers are flowing gently, free,
Seeking the boundless, restless sea,
Whence to return in falling rain,
Over the hill and plain.

Chorus:
Flowing, ever flowing, are the rivers of God’s boundless love,
Flowing, ever flowing from the throne in Heaven above,
Flowing, ever flowing, are the rivers of God’s boundless love,
Flowing, ever flowing from the throne in Heaven above.

2 God’s love is giv’n in richest store,
From pole to pole, from shore to shore,
Deep as the ocean is, and wide,
Ceaseless as is its tide. [Chorus]

3 He crowns with love our passing days,
O let our hearts beat high with praise,
Wafting our songs to heav’n above,
Praise Him, our God of love. [Chorus]
