1. Once I was far in sin,
But Jesus took me in,
Down where the living waters flow,
’Twas there He gave me sight,
And let me see the light,
Down where the living waters flow.

2. With Jesus at my side,
I need no other guide,
Down where the living waters flow;
He is my Hope and Stay,
He saves me every day,
Down where the living waters flow.

3. When fighting here is o’er
I’ll rest for evermore,
Down where the living waters flow;
I’ll join the blood-washed throng,
And sing the angels’ song,
Down where the living waters flow.

Refrain:
Down where the living waters flow,
Down where the tree of life does grow,
I’m living in the light,
For Jesus now I fight,
Down where the living waters flow.
