Author: Manie P. Ferguson Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 162 hymnals Scripture: John 15:26 First Line: Joys are flowing like a river Lyrics: 1 Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart His home.
Refrain:
Blessed quietness, Holy quietness,
What assurance in my soul;
On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
And the billows cease to roll.
2 Bringing life and health and gladness
All around this heav'nly Guest,
Conquered unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest. [Refrain]
3 Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Spirit's given,
Coming on us from on high. [Refrain]
4 See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessed fruit of righteousness;
And the streams of life are flowing
In the lonely wilderness. [Refrain]
5 What a wonderful salvation,
When we always see His face,
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place.
