1 As water to the thirsty, As beauty to the eyes, As strength that follows weakness, As truth instead of lies; As song-time 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 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.
