Peaceful, cleansing river,
In thy sparkling beauty flow
O’er my heart forever.
Refrain:
By thy shore, oh, let me be,
Soul refining river;
Ever let me drink of thee,
Thirst no more forever.
2 There is music in thy wave,
Calmest, purest river;
In thy waters let me bathe
Ever and forever. [Refrain]
3 In thy bosom’s crystal sea,
Gentle, tranquil river,
Let my spirit’s image be
Mirrored there forever. [Refrain]
4 There behold life’s fragrant tree
Blooming by the river;
’Neath its shade my walk shall be
Ever and forever. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [In thy clear, transparent glow] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/River_of_Zion); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Truth in Song, 1907 (34)
