Like a River Glorious
Words by Frances R. Havergal
Music by James Mountain
Isaiah 66:12
"For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck,
ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees."
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.
Chorus
Stayed upon Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
Hidden in the hollow,
O 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.
Chorus
Stayed upon Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
Ev'ry joy or trial,
Falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial,
By the Son of Love.
We may trust Him fully,
All for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly,
Find Him wholly true.
Chorus
Stayed upon Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
