Author: Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Hymns of Promise #118 (2015) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Hymnal Title: Hymns of Promise Refrain First Line: Stayed upon Jehovah 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 Son of Love;
we may trust him fully all for us to do;
they who trust him wholly find him wholly true. [Refrain] Topics: Prayer and Devotion Languages: English Tune Title: WYE VALLEY
Like a River Glorious
