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.

2. Like calm in place of clamor, like peace that follows pain,
like meeting after parting, like sunshine after rain,
like moonlight and starlight on the sea,
so is my Lord, my living Lord so is my Lord to me.

3. Instrumental solo.

4. As sleep that follows fever, as gold instead of grey,
as freedom after bondage, as sunshine to the day,
as home to the traveler and all we long to see,
so is my Lord, my living Lord so is my Lord to me.
