# 647...

In the Salvation Army Songbook

When shall I come unto the healing waters?
Lifting my heart, I cry to thee my prayer.
Spirit of peace, my Comforter and healer,
In whom my springs are found, let my
Soul mee thee there.

From a hill I know,
Healing waters flow;
O rise, Immanuel's tide,
And may my soul overflow!

Wash from my hands the dust of earthly striving;
Take from my mind the stress of secret fear;
Cleanse thou the wounds
from all but thee far hidden
And when the waters flow,
let my healing appear.

Light, life, and love are in that healing fountain,
All I require to cleanse me and restore;
Flow through my soul, redeem its desert places,
And make a garden there for
The Lord I adore

From a hill I know,
Healing waters flow;
O rise, Immanuel's tide,
And may my soul overflow!
