984 River of living water, 1. River of living water, River that flows from the throne, Fellowship giving and making God's own authority known. River of living water, Fellowship freely bestows; Bringing authority with it, Through every place where it flows. 2. Water of life is the Spirit, God as the life in it flows; Carrying with it His Lordship, Through every place where I goes. 3. Midst the gold street it floweth, Thus showing to us the way; As in God's nature it floweth, So in His way we will stay. 4. The tree of life by the river, Shows to us God as our food; We by the river's full flowing Take of the tree's plenitude.
