LyicsSEE, from Zion's sacred mountain,
Streams of living water flow;
God has open'd there a fountain
That supplies the world below;
They are blessed
Who its sov'reign virtues know.
Through ten thousand channels flowing,
Streams of mercy find their way:
Life, and health, and joy bestowing,
Waking beauty from decay.
O ye nations,
Hail the long-expected day!
Gladden'd by the flowing treasure,
All-enriching as it goes.
Lo! the desert smiles with pleasure,
Buds and blossoms as the rose;
Lo! the desert
Sings for joy where'er it flows.
