Revelation 22

 
 1 

Drink! A river pure and clear that's flowing from the throne;

Eat! The tree of life with fruits abundant, richly grown;

Look! No need of lamp nor sun nor moon to keep it bright, for

Here there is no night!

 

Do come, oh, do come,

Says Spirit and the Bride:

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him that heareth, cry.

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him who thirsts and will

Take freely the water of life!

 
 2 

Christ, our river, Christ, our water, springing from within;

Christ, our tree, and Christ, the fruits, to be enjoyed therein,

Christ, our day, and Christ, our light, and Christ, our morning star:

Christ, our everything!

 

Do come, oh, do come,

Says Spirit and the Bride:

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him that heareth, cry.

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him who thirsts and will

Take freely the water of life!

 
 3 

We are washing all our robes the tree of life to eat;

"O Lord, Amen, Hallelujah!" — Jesus is so sweet!

We our spirits exercise, and thus experience Christ.

What a Christ have we!

 

Do come, oh, do come,

Says Spirit and the Bride:

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him that heareth, cry.

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him who thirsts and will

Take freely the water of life!

 
 4 

Now we have a home so bright that outshines the sun,

Where the brothers all unite and truly are one.

Jesus gets us all together, Him we now display

In the local church.

 

Do come, oh, do come,

Says Spirit and the Bride:

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him that heareth, cry.

Do come, oh, do come,

Let him who thirsts and will

Take freely the water of life!
