william moore - sweet rivers lyrics
sweet rivers of redeeming love
lie just before mine eyes;
had i the pinions of a dove
i’d to those rivers fly
i’d rise superior to my pain
with joy outstrip the wind;
i’d cross bold jordan’s stormy main
and leave the world behind
while i’m imprisoned here below
in anguish, pain, and smart
oft times those troubles i forgo
when love surrounds my heart
in darkest shadows of the night
faith mounts the upper sky:
i then behold my heart’s delight
and would rejoice to die
i view the monster death, and smile
now he has lost his sting:
though satan rages all the while
i still the triumph sing
i hold my savior in my arms
and will not let him go;
i’m so delighted with his charms
no other good i’ll know
a few more days, or years at most
my troubles will be o’er;
i hope to join the heavenly host
on canaan’s happy shore
my rapturous soul shall drink and feast
in love’s unbounded sea;
the glorious hope of endless rest
is ravishing to me
o! come, my savior, come away
and bear me through the sky;
nor let thy chariot wheels delay;
make haste and bring it nigh
i long to see thy glorious face
and in thine image shine;
to triumph in victorious grace
and be for ever thine
then will i tune my harp of gold
to my eternal king;
in ages that never can be told
i’ll make his praises ring
all hail, eternal son of god
who died on calvary;
and saved me with thy precious blood
from endless misery
ten thousand thousand join in one
to praise the eternal three;
prostrate before the blazing throne
in deep humility
they rise and tune their harps of gold
and sweep the immortal lyre:
and ages that can ne’er be told
shall raise thy praises higher
