1.
Oh, have you not heard of that beautiful stream
that flows through the promised land?  
Its waters gleam bright in the heavenly light,
and ripple o'er golden sand.

            Refrain:
                O seek that beautiful stream,  
                O seek that beautiful stream.  
                Its waters, so free, are flowing for thee,
                O seek that beautiful stream.

2.
Its fountains are deep and its waters are pure,
and sweet to the weary soul.  
It flows from the throne of Jehovah alone!  
O come where its bright waves roll.......................(Refrain)

3.
This beautiful stream is the river of life!  
It flows for all nations free!
A balm for each wound in its water is found;
O sinner, it flows for thee!....................................(Refrain)

4.
Oh, will you not drink of this beautiful stream,
and dwell on its peaceful shore?  
The Spirit says: Come, all ye weary ones, home,
and wander in sin no more....................................(Refrain)
