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!

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!
“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.
Where the brothers all unite and truly are one.

A 17 year old young person, who only knew the worst things of this life, got saved in my living room by calling upon the name of the Lord Jesus and asking Him to save him. Two days later he asked me to sing that song again. That song was this song. He sang it for 3 weeks straight and changed the last line to "Drink freely the water of Christ!"

I think this is a great depiction/image of the Christian life. I think that just drinking/eating are sometimes lost when things become too large that we lose sight of the simple things. Verse 1 talks about how Christ alone can be sufficient for our daily living. Verse 2, the overflowing of enjoyment. Verse 3, how we can enjoy in a practical way. Verse 4, the result. That's how I see it as a picture of the Christian living. It is sad to see how the modern world sees the Christian life as a religion. I wish we sang this song more though. :P
