Christ in Song 268
Blessed Quietness
Words: M. J. FergusonMusic: W. S. Marshall
1Joys are flow-ing like a riv-er, Since the Com-fort-er has come;
He a-bides with us for-ev-er, Makes the trust-ing heart His home.
RefrainBless-ed qui-et-ness, ho-ly qui-et-ness, What as-sur-ance in my soul!
On the storm-y sea He speaks peace to me, How the bil-lows cease to roll!
2Bring-ing life and health and glad-ness, All a-round this heav'n-ly guest,
Ban-ished un-be-lief and sad-ness, Changed our wea-ri-ness to rest.
3Like the rain that falls from heav-en, Like the sun-light from the sky,
So the Ho-ly Ghost is giv-en, Com-ing on us from on high.
