Like a river glorious Is God's perfect peace,
Over all victorious In its bright increase;
Perfect yet it floweth Fuller every 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.

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.

Every 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.


BIBLE PASSAGE:

12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
