Like a River Glorious
Verse 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.
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
Trusting in Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
Verse 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.
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.
Verse 3
Every joy or testing
Comes from God above,
Given to His children
As an act of love;
We may trust Him fully
All for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly
Find Him wholly true.
