226. Joys are Flowing like a River

1 Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us for ever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.

Refrain:
Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me,
How the billows cease to roll.

2 Bringing life, and health, and gladness,
All around this heavenly Guest;
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest.

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.

4 What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face;
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting-place.
