since the Comforter has come;
Christ abides with us forever,
makes the trusting heart a home.
Refrain:
Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul.
On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
and 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. [Refrain]
3 Like the rain that falls from heaven,
like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Spirit too is given,
coming on us from on high. [Refrain]
4 See, a fruitful field is growing,
blessed fruit of righteousness;
And the streams of life are flowing
in the lonely wilderness. [Refrain]
5 What a wonderful salvation,
when we always see Christ's face,
What a perfect habitation,
what a quiet resting place! [Refrain] Topics: Healing; Holy Spirit Comforter; Jesus Christ Presence of; Pentecost Hymns of the Spirit; Year A Pentecost; Year B Pentecost; Year B Proper 7; Year C Pentecost Scripture: John 14:16 Languages: English Tune Title: BLESSED QUIETNESS
