Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADED ACFCCCGC AHIHAJKJ DLMLADND| O LIVING living water | A |
| So busy and so bright | B |
| Aye flashing in the morning beams | C |
| And sounding through the night | B |
| O golden shining water | A |
| Would God that I might be | D |
| A vocal message from His mouth | E |
| Into the world like thee | D |
| - | |
| O merry merry water | A |
| Which nothing e'er affrays | C |
| And as it pours from rock to rock | F |
| Nothing e'er stops or stays | C |
| But past cool heathery hollows | C |
| And gloomy pools it flows | C |
| Past crags that fain would shut it in | G |
| Leaps through and on it goes | C |
| - | |
| O fresh'ning sparkling water | A |
| O voice that's never still | H |
| Though winter lays her dead white hand | I |
| On brae and glen and hill | H |
| Though no leaf's left to flutter | A |
| In woods all mute and hoar | J |
| Yet thou O river night and day | K |
| Thou runnest evermore | J |
| - | |
| No foul thing can pollute thee | D |
| Thy swiftness casts aside | L |
| All ill like a good heart and true | M |
| However sorely tried | L |
| O living living water | A |
| So fresh and bright and free | D |
| God lead us through this changeful world | N |
| Forever pure like thee | D |
