1378. Water, pure water, that sparkles so bright

1 Water, pure water, that sparkles so bright,
Beautiful, fresh and free!
Falling from heaven like jewels of light,
Falling for you and me;
Fresh from the bountiful Giver of all,
Nothing so pure can be;
This is the song of the showers that fall
Over the lake and lea:

Chorus:
Drink water, pure water,
Drink water, pure water,
Drink, drink, drink,
Drink, drink, drink, drink,
Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink,
Drink pure water.

2 Water, pure water, for young and for old,
Poured by the hand divine;
Give me pure water so healthful and cold,
Fill up this cup of mine;
Sweet is the breath of the blossoming spring,
Kissed by the silver rain;
Gay is the song that the little birds sing
Over the hill and plain: [Chorus]

3 Water, pure water, yes this is the song,
This is the theme for you;
This is the drink for the youthful and strong,
Pure as the morning dew.
This is the gift from our Father's own hand,
In every land 'tis found;
This is the song of the temperance band
Echoed the world around: [Chorus]
