244. Blessed Quietness

1 Joys are flowing like a river,
since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
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. [Refrain]

3 Like the rain that falls from heaven,
like the sunlight from the sky,
so the Comforter is given,
coming on us from on high. [Refrain]
