Down the mountain the river flows,
And it brings refreshing wherever it goes.
Through the valleys and over the fields,
The river is rushing and the river is here!

The river of God sets our feet a-dancing.
The river of God fills our hearts with cheer.
The river of God fills our mouths
With laughter,
And we rejoice, for the river is here!

The river of God is teeming with life,
And all who touch it can be revived
And those who linger on this river's shore
Will come back thirsting
For more of the Lord.

The river of God sets our feet a-dancing.
The river of God fills our hearts with cheer.
The river of God fills our mouths
With laughter,
And we rejoice, for the river is here!

Up to the mountain, we love to go
To find the presence of the Lord.
Along the banks of the river we run
We dance with laughter
Giving praise to the Son.
