life-givingly

I couldn't find more suitable word in a sentence than "life-givingly", but I wrote down this word with doubts. Even if "life-giving" is an existing attribute, so the adverb of manner coming from it theoretically couldn't be anything else then "life-givingly". For e.g. "The sun, which shines life-givingly upon Earth,..." or "the river, which flows life-givingly across the land,..." Is it really so?
