Author: Marie P. Ferguson Hymnal: Lift Every Voice and Sing II #185 (1993) First Line: Joys are flowing like a river Refrain First Line: Blessed quietness, holy quietness Lyrics: 1 Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.
Refrain:
Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
What assurance is my soul,
On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
And the billows cease to roll.
2 Bringing life and health and gladness
All around this heav’nly guest,
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Chang’d our weariness to rest. [Refrain]
3 Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming on us from on high. [Refrain]
4 See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessed fruit of righteousness;
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness. [Refrain]
5 What a wonderful salvation,
When we always see His face,
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place. [Refrain] Topics: Hymns and Songs Assurance Languages: English Tune Title: [Joys are flowing like a river]
