Chorus
There is a river, there is a river,
there is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.
There is a river, there is a river,
there is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.

Verse
God is our home, God is our journey.
We will not fear though trouble comes,
for we are carried.

“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.” Psalm 46:4

“This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice  and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say, rejoice! Philippians 4:4

“I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, for You have considered my trouble…” Psalm 37:1

Lyrics

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of our God.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of our God.
So I will rejoice, I will rejoice, and be glad.
My depressed days are over, I will, I made up my mind, I will, I’m gonna be glad.

There is a fountain full of grace that flows from Emmanuel’s veins.
There is a fountain so full of grace that flows from my Savior’s veins. See I know cause It came and it healed me
It came and refreshed me
It came and washed my sins away!

So I will rejoice, I will rejoice, and be glad.
I will rejoice, I will rejoice, and be glad. (3X)

There is a fountain full of grace that flows from Emmanuel’s veins.
Has anybody been cleansed in the fountain, that flows from Emmanuel’s veins.
See I know for myself cause it came, and it healed me, it came and refreshed my soul, it came and washed my sins away!

I will rejoice, I will rejoice, and be glad. (5X)

Rejoice in the Lord always and again I’ll say it (Murphy alone)

Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say,  (Everyone)

I will rejoice, I will rejoice, and be glad. (3X)

(4) A river . . .--Heb., n?har, i.e., a perennial stream, as distinguished from n?chal, a torrent bed dry except in the rainy season. Plainly, then, the "Cedron" is not here alluded to. But many commentators think "Siloam" is intended. (See Stanley, Sinai and Palestine, p. 180, and comp. Isaiah 12:3; Ezekiel 47:1-5; John 7:37.)

There may not, however, be any such local allusion. The river, flowing calmly and smoothly along, may be only a symbol of the peace and blessing of the Divine presence, as the tumult and tempest of the sea in the last verse are of the world's noisy troubles. Indeed, the LXX. (comp. Prayer Book version) seems to connect the river of this verse with the waters of the preceding.

Streams.--See Note on Psalm 1:3, where the same word occurs.

Verse 4. - There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God. In contrast with the scene of tumult and disturbance in the world at large, which the writer has presented to us in vers. 2, 3, he now shows us, resting in perfect peace and tranquillity, "the city of God," threatened, indeed, by the nations, but undismayed by them, and calmly trusting in the protection of the God who is "in the midst of her." To this city he assigns a "river, the streams whereof make her glad;" imagery in which we may recognize the perennial fountain of God's grace - that "pure river of water of life," which, welling forth from the throne of God and of the Lamb, continually refreshes and gladdens the Church of Christ (Revelation 22:1), whether her dwell-tug-place be the earthly or the heavenly Jerusalem. The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High (comp. Psalm 43:3). The direct application is, of course, to the earthly Jerusalem, which the armies of Sennacherib were threatening.
