Rivers of Regeneration

"Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified" (John 7:37-39).

Rivers of regeneration
Are flowing deep within
All who have received salvation,
Cleansing them from sin.

Rivers of regeneration
Now flow from God the Spirit
By the Gospel's revelation
To those who gladly hear it.

Rivers of regeneration
That satisfy our thirst,
Swept away the condemnation
Wherewith we once were cursed.

Rivers of regeneration
Flow from the Fountainhead
Of our Savior's exaltation,
Now risen from the dead.

Rivers of regeneration
That now refresh our heart,
Equip us with the preparation
Of the Gospel we impart.

Rivers of regeneration
Now ought to flow toward
Every tribe, and tongue, and nation
Who need to know the Lord.
