14. The Sacred Stream

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.
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through,
And wat’ring our divine abode,
And wat’ring our divine abode.

2 That sacred stream, Thine holy word,
That all our raging fear controls;
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls,
And give new strength to fainting souls.

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.
While ev’ry nation, ev’ry shore,
Trembles and dreads the swelling tide,
Trembles and dreads the swelling tide.
