Let Youth Praise Him ‎#97

97. 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 He speaks to me,
How 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 God's Spirit once was given,
When our Lord had gone on high. [Refrain]

4 See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessed fruits of righteousness,
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness. [Refrain]
