Blessed Quietness (hymn)

145 Blessed Quietness

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 in 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,
   Conquered unbelief and sadness,
   Changed our weariness to rest. [Refrain]

3 Like the rain that falls from heaven,
   Like the sunlight from the sky,
   So the Holy Spirit's 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]
