The Song of the Leaves of Life and the Water of Life

Ralph Vaughan Williams

Unto him that overcometh shall be given of the tree of Life

which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.

On either side of the river groweth the Tree of Life,

the Leaves of the Tree are for thy healing.

In the midst of that fair City flows the river of Water of Life clear as

crystal

Who so will, let him take of the Water of Life freely.

Who so drinketh of this water shall never thirst.

Take thou the Leaves of the Tree of Life.

So shalt thou enter in through the Gates of the City.
