Water, Pure Water

Water, pure water, that sparkles so bright,

1

Water, pure water, that sparkles so bright,Beautiful, fresh and free!Falling from heaven like jewels of light,Falling for you and me;Fresh from the bountiful Giver of all,Nothing so pure can be (can be);This is the song of the showers that fallOver the lake and lea (over the lea):

Chorus.

Drink water, pure water,Drink water, pure water,Drink, drink, drink, drink,Drink, drink, drink, drink,Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink,Drink pure water.

Water, pure water, for young and for old,Poured by the hand divine;Give me pure water so healthful and cold,Fill up this cup of mine;Sweet is the breath of the blossoming spring,Kissed by the silver rain (silver rain);Gay is the song that the little birds singOver the hill and plain (over the plain):

Water, pure water, yes this is the song,This is the theme for you;This is the drink for the youthful and strong,Pure as the morning dew.This is the gift from our Father's own hand,In every land 't is found (it is found);This is the song of the temperance bandEchoed the world around (all around):
