Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #587 (1961) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Scripture: Isaiah 66:12 First Line: Like a river glorious Lyrics: 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.
Refrain:
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. [Refrain]
3 Ev'ry joy or trial
Falleth from above,
Traced 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. [Refrain] Topics: Christian Life Peace and Joy; Decrees of God; God Guardian; Trust in God Languages: English Tune Title: LIKE A RIVER
