Tune: Ravenshaw
(\'Lord they word abideth\')
********
Passing by a river
Shines sun\'s golden sliver
Wildlife living peacefully
Nature with God one be
Ducks, swans, insects abide
By riverside reside
Haven calm, unspoilt see
From defilement all free
Help us Lord, creation
To tend, every nation
For it be your world, we live
In it by grace you give
In eternal city
There River of Life be
Pleasures perfect, purified
Shall to none be denied
