Like streams in the desert
and wells in the waste,
A river flows out
from the Lord's holy place,
With comfort and strength
for the weak and opressed.
The wounded are healed
and the weary find rest!

How blessed are the thirsty,
for they will be filled
With waters of life
from the rock on God's hill!
One time it was struck
by the cruel judgment rod;
Now mercies spring forth
from the throne of our God.

O lift up your eyes
to the hill where he died!
To Jesus, the true Rock,
from whose smitten side
Pure waters spill down,
and dry land is refreshed,
As God's promised Spirit
is poured on all flesh!

Descend Holy Spirit
from Jesus above!
Come fill us with grace
from the Father of love!
Till earth is renewed,
all creation restored,
By waters of life
from the house of the Lord.
