There is a River
A River of Hope: Finding Peace Amidst Troubles
Lyrics
There is a river, a great flowing river,
There is a metaphorical river symbolizing a divine force or grace.
and it makes glad the city of God.
The river brings joy and blessings to the spiritual realm, often represented as the city of God.
Broad are its waters, and deep are its voices.
The river is vast and profound, carrying powerful messages or teachings.
Its songs are of peace in the house of the Lord.
The messages of the river are harmonious and promote peace within the domain of God.
What shall we fear, though nations may tremble,
Even in the face of worldly troubles and uncertainties, there is no need to fear.
and darkness may rise to trouble the sun?
Challenges and darkness may arise, but they cannot overshadow the divine light.
The kingdom is near, the remnants assemble,
The promised kingdom of God is approaching, and the faithful are gathering.
and lift up their eyes to a day just begun.
Believers are optimistic, looking forward to a new and promising era.
There is a river, a great flowing river,
Reiteration of the presence of the metaphorical river and its positive impact.
and it makes glad the city of God.
The river continues to bring joy and blessings to the spiritual realm.
Broad are its waters, and deep are its voices.
Emphasis on the vastness and profundity of the divine teachings.
Its songs are of peace in the house of the Lord.
The messages of the river promote peace within God's dwelling place.
What shall we fear? The bow shall be broken,
There is no need to fear, as conflict and hostility will be overcome.
the spear shall be shattered, and warring shall cease.
We can anticipate an end to strife and a cessation of warfare.
The kingdom is near, the word has been spoken,
The promised kingdom is imminent, and the divine word has been proclaimed.
and though we lie battered, we are called to the feast.
Despite challenges, believers are invited to partake in a divine feast.
There is a river, a great flowing river,
Reiteration of the metaphorical river and its positive impact on the spiritual realm.
and it makes glad the city of God.
The river continues to bring joy and blessings to the city of God.
Broad are its waters, and deep are its voices.
Emphasis on the vastness and profundity of the divine teachings.
Its songs are of peace in the house of the Lord.
The messages of the river promote peace within God's dwelling place.
