"For
thus
saith
the

There
is
a
stream,
whose
gentle
flow
Supplies
the
city
of
our
God:
Life,
love,
and
joy,
still
gliding
through
And
wat'
ring
our
divine
abode.

That
sa-cred
stream,
that
holy
word,
Supports
our
faith,
our
fear
controls;
Sweet
peace
thy
promis-es
af-ford,
and
give
new
strength
to
fainting
souls.

Youth,"
"Sharon's
Lovely
Rose,"
and
"Peaceful
Rest."
