Blessed Quietness

A                       D
Joys are flowing like a river,
          A             E7
Since the Comforter has come;
    A                 D
He abides with us forever,
           A       E7        A
Makes the trusting heart His home.

Chorus

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
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.

Chorus

Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given,
Coming on us from on high.

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
