The Waters Are Troubled

1The waters are troubled,
The angel is here;
The fountain of mercy Flows healing and clear;
O come in your sorrow,
And come in your sin;
The waters are troubled,
Step in,
O step in!

2The waters are troubled,
No longer delay;
The fountain of mercy Has healing today,
Then why will you linger,
Since life you may win?
The waters are troubled,
Step in,
O step in!

3The waters are troubled,
The angel still waits;
He pauses in peril Who halts and debates,
Give over your falt'ring,
Your struggles within;
The waters are troubled,
Step in,
O step in!
