Dinah Maria Mulock - At The Linn-Side
Work rating: Low

O LIVING, living water, 
So busy and so bright, 
Aye flashing in the morning beams, 
And sounding through the night; 
O golden-shining water-- 
Would God that I might be 
A vocal message from His mouth 
Into the world, like thee! 

O merry, merry water, 
Which nothing e`er affrays; 
And as it pours from rock to rock 
Nothing e`er stops or stays; 
But past cool heathery hollows 
And gloomy pools it flows; 
Past crags that fain would shut it in 
Leaps through--and on it goes. 

O fresh`ning, sparkling water, 
O voice that`s never still, 
Though winter lays her dead-white hand 
On brae and glen and hill; 
Though no leaf`s left to flutter 
In woods all mute and hoar, 
Yet thou, O river, night and day 
Thou runnest evermore. 

No foul thing can pollute thee; 
Thy swiftness casts aside 
All ill, like a good heart and true, 
However sorely tried. 
O living, living water, 
So fresh and bright and free-- 
God lead us through this changeful world 
Forever pure, like thee!
