Reformed Press Hymnal ‎#116

116. Holy Quietness

1 Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.

Chorus:
Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
What assurance in my soul;
On the stormy sea,
Speaking peace to me,
How the billows cease to roll.

2 Springing into life and gladness,
All around this glorious Guest,
Banished unbelief and sadness,
And we just obey and trust. [Chorus]

3 Like a rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming to us from on high. [Chorus]

4 What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What a peaceful habitation,
What a quiet resting place. [Chorus]
