Lyrics:W. Leslie
Music:W. Leslie, harmony by James McW. Bonnar
Meter:9.8.9.8. with chorus

This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Under the burdens of guilt and care,

       Many a spirit is grieving,

    Who in the joy of the Lord might share,

       Life everlasting receiving.

 

Life! Life! Eternal life!

Jesus alone is the Giver:

Life! Life! Abundant life!

Glory to Jesus forever!

 

 2  Burdened one, why will you longer bear

       Sorrows from which He releases?

    Open your heart, and rejoicing, share

       Life more abundant in Jesus.

 

Life! Life! Eternal life!

Jesus alone is the Giver:

Life! Life! Abundant life!

Glory to Jesus forever!

 

 3  Leaving the mountain, the streamlet grows,

       Flooding the vale with a river;

    So, from the hill of the Cross, there flows

       Life more abundant forever.

 

Life! Life! Eternal life!

Jesus alone is the Giver:

Life! Life! Abundant life!

Glory to Jesus forever!

 

 4  Oh, for the flood on the thirsty land!

       Oh, for a mighty revival!

    Oh, for a sanctified, fearless band,

       Ready to hail its arrival!

 

Life! Life! Eternal life!

Jesus alone is the Giver:

Life! Life! Abundant life!

Glory to Jesus forever!
