Hymn
Blessed Quietness
Words: Ferguson, M. P. (Manie Payne), 1850-1932
Joys are flowing like a river, Since the Comforter has come; He abides with us forever Makes the trusting heart His home.
Chorus
Blessed quietness, holy quietness, What assurance in my soul; On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me, And the billows cease to roll.
Springing into joy and gladness All around this glorious Guest, Banished unbelief and sadness, And we just obey and rest. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
What a wonderful salvation, Where we always see His face; What a peaceful habitation, What a quiet resting place. [Chorus]
