River, beyond the rest Thou wert supremely blest, When Zion’s King stood in thy pearly bed; There did the Saviour stand, Pour by the prophet’s hand Thy simple waves o’er His anointed head. O Saviour! in that tide Which from Thy pierced side On Calvary’s mount was poured out like wine, Cleanse my polluted soul, The wounds of sin make whole, And breathe Thy spirit o’er this heart of mine.
