About CHB 7.
"Come to the Springs of Living Water" (often listed simply as CHB 7 in Nigerian Catholic hymn books) is a vibrant call to worship. The lyrics invite the congregation to gather from "distant valleys" and "far off islands," making it a fitting Entrance hymn to unite the faithful as Mass begins. The imagery of living water flowing from the heart of God sets a tone of spiritual renewal and grace.
As the song progresses, the second verse shifts the focus toward giving. The call to bring "precious ointment" and "humble offerings" naturally lends the piece to the Offertory procession. It is a joyful, straightforward piece that encourages the people in the pews to hasten and present their gifts and prayers to the Lord.
