Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #32b (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 Like a mighty river flowing,
like a flower in beauty growing,
far beyond all human knowing
is the perfect peace of God.
2 Like the hills serene and even,
like the coursing clouds of heaven,
like the heart that's been forgiven
is the perfect peace of God.
3 Like the summer breezes playing,
like the tall trees softly swaying,
like the lips of silent praying
is the perfect peace of God.
4 Like the morning sun ascended,
like the scents of evening blended,
like a friendship never ended
is the perfect peace of God.
5 Like the azure ocean swelling,
like the jewel all-excelling,
far beyond our human telling
is the perfect peace of God. Topics: God, Father Gracious and Merciful; Pentecost 18 The Offering of Life Scripture: Philippians 4:7 Languages: English Tune Title: QUEM PASTORES LAUDAVERE
