Heaven’s River

His heaven’s river through His fount has flowed,
Caressed by water He has holy made,
And we forgiveness for our sin now know.

For in His water Satan is brought low
As sin induced in us by that Asp fades;
His heaven’s river through His fount has flowed.

Above His fount we see His Noah’s bow
As mercy pours into our heart’s sin-shade,
And we forgiveness for our sin now know.

His righteousness in human seeds He sows,
And Spirit’s holiness through us cascades;
His heaven’s river through His fount has flowed.

His living water washes earth below—
To Him brings lost who from His way have strayed—
And we forgiveness for our sin now know.

He leaves in water in His fount our woe;
With Him we rise to Father’s accolade.    
His heaven’s river through His fount has flowed,
And we forgiveness for our sin now know.
