 Who can faint, while such a river

Ever flows their thirst t'assuage?

Grace which like the Lord, the giver,

Never fails from age to age.

Round each habitation hov'ring,

See the cloud and fire appear!

For a glory and a cov'ring,

Showing that the Lord is near:

Thus deriving from their banner,

Light by night and shade by day;

Sweetly they enjoy the Spirit,

Which he gives them when they pray.

Bless'd inhabitants of Zion,

Purchas'd with the Savior's blood!

Jesus whom their souls rely on,

Makes them kings and priests to God.

While in love his people raises,

With himself to reign as kings;

All, as priests, his solemn praises,

Each for a thank-offering brings.

Savior, since of Zion's city

I through grace a member am;

Though the world despise and pity,

I will glory in thy name.
