460. As Water to the Thirsty

Db Gb           Ebm         Abm7          Gb
As water to the thirsty, as beauty to the eyes,
   Abm7                  Ebm          Bb       Bb7      Ebm
As strength that follows weakness, as truth in-stead of lies,
   Abm7 Db       Bbm    Ebm      Abm7          Db Db7
As song-time and spring-time and summertime to be,
   Bbm   Ebm      Abm    Db      B     Abm7 Db7 Gb
So is my Lord, my living Lord so is my Lord to me.



[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.
