Like a mighty river flowing

Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #32a (1987) Meter: 8.8.8.7 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.

Michael Perry

1942 - 1996 Author of "Like a mighty river flowing" in Anglican Hymns Old and New (Rev. and Enl.) Initially studying mathematics and physics at Dulwich College, Michael A. Perry (b. Beckenham, Kent, England, 1942; d. England, 1996) was headed for a career in the sciences. However, after one year of study in physics at the University of London, he transferred to Oak Hill College to study theology. He also studied at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, and received a M.Phil. from the University of Southhampton in 1973. Ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1966, Perry served the parish of St. Helen's in Liverpool as a youth worker and evangelist. From 1972 to 1981 he was the vicar of Bitterne in Southhampton and from 1981 to 1989, rector of Eversley in Hampshire and chaplain at the Police Staff College. He then became vicar of Tonbridge in Kent, where he remained until his death from a brain tumor in 1996. Perry published widely in the areas of Bible study and worship. He edited Jubilate publications such as Hymns far Today's Church (1982), Carols far Today (1986), Come Rejoice! (1989), and Psalms for Today (1990). Composer of the musical drama Coming Home (1987), he also wrote more than two hundred hymns and Bible versifications. Bert Polman

Bromley, Kent, England, 1938) was educated at Elthan College, St. Peter's College, Oxford, and Clifton Theological College in Bristol, and was ordained in the Church of England. He served churches in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria; London; and Oakley, Suffolk; and recently returned to London, where he is involved in various hymnal projects. A prolific author of articles on the Christian's public responsibilities, Idle has also published The Lion Book of Favorite Hymns (1980) and at least one hundred of his own hymns and biblical paraphrases. Some of his texts first appeared in hymnals published by the Jubilate Group, with which he is associated. He was also editor of Anglican Praise (1987). In 1998 Hope Publishing released Light Upon the River, a collection of 279 of his psalm and hymn texts, along with suggested tunes, scripture references, and commentary. Bert Polman
