1. Joys are flowing like a river, 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! 2. Bringing life and health and gladness All around, this heavenly Guest Banished unbelief and sadness, Changed our weariness to rest. Blessed quietness, holy quietness — What assurance in my soul! On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll! 3. 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. Blessed quietness, holy quietness — What assurance in my soul! On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll! 4. See a fruitful field is growing Blessed fruits of righteousness, And the streams of life are flowing In the lonely wilderness. Blessed quietness, holy quietness — What assurance in my soul! On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll! 5. What a wonderful salvation Where we always see His face! What a perfect habitation! What a quiet resting place! Blessed quietness, holy quietness — What assurance in my soul! On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll!
