202. Blessed Quietness

1 Joys are flowing like a river,
since the Comforter has come.
Who abides with us forever,
makes the trusting heart a home.

Refrain:
Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea, speaking peace to me,
how the billows cease to roll.

2 Like the falling rain from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Spirit's given,
falling on us from on high. [Refrain]

3 See, a fruitful field is growing,
blessed fruit of righteousness,
And the streams of life are flowing
in the lonely wilderness. [Refrain]

4 What a wonderful salvation,
where we always see God's face,
What a peaceful habitation,
What a quiet resting place. [Refrain]
