	2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint, when such a river Ever will their thirst assuage; Grace, which, like the Lord the Giver, Never fails from age to age?	3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night, and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray

	4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name: Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.

	Rev. John Newton, 177s
