1. Oh, drink of the river of pleasure, A deep, living stream of delight; The source of all blessings forever, It flashes in heaven's pure light. * Refrain: Oh, drink of the river of pleasure and love, I feel it so deep in my soul; It gladdens the one who is born from above, And maketh the wounded heart whole. 2. Oh, drink of the river of pleasure, 'Tis sparkling with joy for thy soul; It flows in the bosom forever, That's given to Father's control. 3. Oh, drink of the river of pleasure, For thee it is flowing along; Down from the bounteous Giver, Its music a sweet, charming song. 4. Oh, drink of the river of pleasure, And surely thy spirit shall know Thy longing and thirsting are over, Thy blessings forever shall flow.
