1 Joys are flowing like a river
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.
Chorus:
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 heav'nly Guest,
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Chang'd our weariness to rest. [Chorus]
3 Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming to us from on high. [Chorus]
4 See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessed fruit of righteousness,
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness. [Chorus]
5 What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What a peaceful habitation,
What a quiet resting place. [Chorus]
