371. Like a River Glorious

1 Like a river glorious, Is God's perfect peace,
Over all victorious In its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth Fuller ev'ry day,
Perfect, yet it groweth Deeper all the way.

Refrain:
Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.

2 Hidden in the hollow Of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow Never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry Not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry Touch the spirit there. [Refrain]

3 Ev'ry joy or trial Falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial By the Sun of Love.
We may trust Him fully All for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly Find Him wholly true. [Refrain]
