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.
Stayed upon Jehovah hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.
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 moves the spirit there.
Stayed upon Jehovah hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.
Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of to do:
We may trust Him fully all for us
They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.
Stayed upon Jehovah hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.
