Abundant life

Under the burdens of guilt and care,
Many a spirit is grieving,
Who in the joy of the Lord might share,
Life everlasting receiving.

Burdened one, why will you longer bear
Sorrows from which He releases?
Open your heart, and rejoicing share,
Life "more abundant" in Jesus.

Leaving the mountain, the streamlet grows,
Flooding the vale with a river;
So, from the hill of the Cross, there flows
Life "more abundant" for ever.

Oh for the floods on the thirsty land!
Oh for a mighty revival!
Oh for a sanctified, fearless band,
Ready to hail its arrival.
