460. As Water to the Thirsty

G  C            Am          Dm7           C
As water to the thirsty, as beauty to the eyes,
   Dm7                   Am           E        E7       Am
As strength that follows weakness, as truth in-stead of lies,
   Dm7  G        Em     Am       Dm7           G G7
As song-time and spring-time and summertime to be,
   Em    Am       Dm     G       F     Dm7  G7 C
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.
