Like a River Glorious

Words: Frances Ridley Havergal · Music: James Mountain · 1874

Verse 1
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.

Verse 2
Hidden in the hollow of 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.

Verse 3
Ev'ry joy or trial falleth from above,
traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
we may trust him fully all for us to do;
they who trust him wholly find him wholly true.
