Drink! A river pure and clear that's flowing from the throne;
Eat! The tree of life with fruits abundant, richly grown;
Look! No need of lamp nor sun nor moon to keep it bright, for
Here there is no night!

Do come, oh, do come,
Says Spirit and the Bride:
Do come, oh, do come,
Let him that heareth, cry.
Do come, oh, do come,
Let him who thirsts and will
Take freely the water of life!

Christ, our river, Christ, our water, springing from within;
Christ, our tree, and Christ, the fruits, to be enjoyed therein,
Christ, our day, and Christ, our light, and Christ, our morningstar:
Christ, our everything!

We are washing all our robes the tree of life to eat;
"O Lord, Amen, Hallelujah!"—Jesus is so sweet!
We our spirits exercise, and thus experience Christ.
What a Christ have we!

Now we have a home so bright that outshines the sun,
Where the brothers all unite and truly are one.
Jesus gets us all together, Him we now display
In the local church.

This song has gotten me through tough times and lifts me up when I’m down. Singing this with the saints is the best feeling, I never feel more connected to Christ then singing this gem.

Dear Anonymous,
How precious we see in the word that Christ is our food! From Genesis to Revelation we can enjoy Him as our rich supply of food to eat. In John 6 He says “ I am the bread of life “. John 6:57 says, …he who eats Me shall live…”
We can eat Him and enjoy Him by the exercise of our spirit. Zachariah 12:1 … “ and He formed a spirit within man. “ We can exercise our spirit or “ eat Him” by calling on the Lord’s name, praying the word and singing hymns! I know this is a short answer to such a rich question but I have been helped through the years by these sweet and simple practices.

I have loved this hymn ever since we had home meetings in our house and I just searched for the author on Google. It came up with a lot of nonsense but, does anyone know who this was written by?
