Tune: Abridge
('Be thou my guardian and my guide')
*********
Water of life, river now flow
From us, that others know
The Spirit's touch through word and deed
And to your message heed
Message of salvation to all
Who on the Lord's name call
Give us courage, boldness that we
Not as the blocked streams be
Not stagnant, stale, but refreshing
Something of God's life bring
To each we meet, be large, small ways
Throughout our pilgrim days
The gospel preached, teaching, healing
Your name glorifying
As you Christ did, so may we be
Sharers of you freely
That deaf shall hear and dumb shall speak
Grace to the humble, meek
That sick be healed, e'en dead to rise
True gospel spread, no lies

orchidee, your last line struck hard "True gospel spread, no lies" This many can take many ways, but for me it means that by their fruits ye shall know them.
Thanks SB.
