185 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 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]
