As water to the thirsty,
As
beauty to the eyes,
As
strength that follows weakness,
As
truth instead of lies;
As
songtime and springtime and summertime to be
So
is my Lord, my living Lord,
So
is my Lord to me.
2
Like
calm in place of clamor
Like
peace that follows pain,
Like
meeting after parting,
Like
sunshine after the rain;
Like
moonlight and starlight and sunlight on the sea,
So
is my Lord, my living Lord,
So
is my Lord to me.
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.
