Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #397 (1974) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Hymnal Title: Hymns for the Living Church Refrain First Line: Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest Lyrics: 1 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.
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 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. (Refrain) Topics: Peace Spiritual Scripture: Isaiah 26:3 Languages: English Tune Title: WYE VALLEY
