Rivers of living water

Rivers of living water,
  Rivers that flow from the throne,
Rivers o’erflowing with blessing,
  Coming from Jesus alone.
 
Rivers of living water,
  Rivers of life so free,
Flowing from Thee, my Savior,
    Send now the rivers through me.
2
Whoso is thirsty come hither,
  Here is abundant supply;
Water transparent as crystal,
  Come without money and buy.
3
Cleanse me, oh, cleanse me, my Savior,
  Make me a channel today;
Empty me, fill me and use me,
  Teach me to trust and obey.
4
Then, and then only, Lord Jesus,
  Through me the rivers can flow;
Thus and thus only will others
  Learn Thy great fulness to know.
5
Now I surrender to Jesus,
  Here I lay all at His feet;
Anything, anywhere only,
  Just for His service made meet!

We need to understand that the emphasis of Hymns, #251 is not only on the river of water of life proceeding out of the throne, as seen in Revelation 22, but even more on the rivers of living water flowing out of us, as recorded in John's Gospel. John 7:38 says, "He who believes into Me.. .out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water." According to the Greek text, rivers in this verse is plural. Therefore, it is correct for Hymns, #251 to use rivers (plural). The river in Revelation 22 is the river that proceeds from the throne, and it is one river, whereas the rivers in John 7 are rivers that flow out of us, and they are many rivers.
