241. Like a River, Glorious

1 Like a river, glorious
Is God's perfect peace,
Over all victorious
In its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth
Fuller ev'ry day--
Perfect, yet it groweth
Deeper all the way.

Chorus:
Stayed upon Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.

2 Hidden in the hollow
Of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow,
Never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry,
Not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry
Touch the spirit there. [Chorus]

3 Ev'ry joy or trial
Falleth from above,
Trac'd upon our dial
By the Sun of Love.
We may trust Him fully,
All for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly
Find Him wholly true [Chorus]
