As the waters floweth from the river,
so is thy love unto me.
It quenches my soul, and fills my heart with gladness.
I will bless the Lord, for he is good.
He has given me the strength to stand;
though my body may be weak, and my heart weary,
I will not be perplexed;
for the battle that wages against me is of the flesh,
but the hope that I have is in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, will I say again with conviction;
that, though my breath I cannot see,
as though this life has gone from me,
though near death my body lays;
I am not afraid.
