Rivers of Song

Representative Text

1 Sing of the One who is bless3d forever,
Arm of the feeble and Help of the strong;
Love looketh up to the wonderful Giver,
Pour out your praises in rivers of song.

Refrain:
Sing, for the heavens are full of His glory,
Praises are swelling in rivers of song;
Sing till the earth shall reecho the story,
Pour out your praises in rivers of song.

2 Sing in the morning: the blessed Redeemer
Waits for the tribute our voices shall bring.
Tarry no more in the land of the dreamer,
Learn the new song that the blessed shall sing. [Refrain]

3 Sing in the noontide, when bright and unclouded
Hope shineth fair in a beautiful sky;
Sing, by the shadows of evening enshrouded,
Jesus our righteousness shineth on high. [Refrain]

4 Sing of the One who is strong to deliver;
Sing of the One who is mighty to save;
Sing, let your praises flow on like a river
Over the silence of death and the grave. [Refrain]
