As Water to the Thirsty

Verse 1

As water to the thirsty, As beauty to the eyes, As strength that follows weakness, As truth instead of lies; As song-time and springtime And summertime to be, So is my Lord, my living Lord, So is my Lord to me.

Verse 2

Like calm in place of clamor Like peace that follows pain, Like meeting after parting, Like sunshine after rain; Like moonlight and starlight And sunlight on the sea, So is my Lord, my living Lord, So is my Lord to me.

Verse 3

As sleep that follows fever, As gold instead of grey, As freedom after bondage, As sunrise to the day; As home to the trav'ler And all he longs to see, So is my Lord, my Living Lord, So is my Lord to me.
