Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.
Blessed quietness, holy quietness—
What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.
How the billows cease to roll!
What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.
How the billows cease to roll!

Bringing life and health and gladness
All around, this heavenly Guest
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest.

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.
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming to us from on high.

See a fruitful field is growing
Blessed fruits of righteousness,
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness.
Blessed fruits of righteousness,
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness.

What a wonderful salvation
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation!
What a quiet resting place!
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation!
What a quiet resting place!

This hymn was sang in Church by the choir this morning, and I couldn't help tearing up when I remember how the Holy Spirit speaks peace unto the hearts of men in troubled times. God bless the composer of this hymn.
