(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Like a river glorious Is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious In its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth Fuller ev’ry day,
Perfect, yet it groweth Deeper all the way.
REFRAIN
Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are fully flest —
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
Ev’ry 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.
