LyicsSee from Zion's sacred mountain,
Streams of living water flow;
God has opened there a fountain,
To supply the plains below:
They are blessed -
Who its sovereign virtues know.
Through ten thousand channels flowing,
Streams of mercy find their way;
Life and health, and joy bestowing,
Making all around look gay:
O you nations -
Hail the great and glorious day.
Gladdened by the fruitful treasure,
All enriching as it goes;
Lo! The desert smiles with pleasure,
Buds and blossoms as the rose:
Every object -
Sings for joy where'er it flows.
Trees of life the banks adorning
Yield their fruit to all around;
Those who eat are saved from mourning,
Pleasure comes and hopes abound:
Blessed portion -
Endless life with glory crowned.
