#1161

 

 1  Joys are flowing like a river,

    Since the Comforter has come;

    He abides with us forever,

    Makes the trusting heart His home.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

   What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

   How the billows cease to roll!

 

 2  Bringing life and health and gladness

    All around, this heavenly Guest

    Banished unbelief and sadness,

    Changed our weariness to rest.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

   What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

   How the billows cease to roll!

 

 3  Like the rain that falls from heaven,

    Like the sunlight from the sky,

    So the Holy Ghost is given,

    Coming to us from on high.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

   What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

   How the billows cease to roll!

 

 4  See a fruitful field is growing

    Blessed fruits of righteousness,

    And the streams of life are flowing

    In the lonely wilderness.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

   What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

   How the billows cease to roll!

 

 5  What a wonderful salvation

    Where we always see His face!

    What a perfect habitation!

    What a quiet resting place!

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

   What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

   How the billows cease to roll!
