 1 

Joys are flowing like a river,

Since the Comforter has come;

He abides with us forever,

Makes the trusting heart His home.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

How the billows cease to roll!

 
 2 

Bringing life and health and gladness

All around, this heavenly Guest

Banished unbelief and sadness,

Changed our weariness to rest.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

How the billows cease to roll!

 
 3 

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.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

How the billows cease to roll!

 
 4 

See a fruitful field is growing

Blessed fruits of righteousness,

And the streams of life are flowing

In the lonely wilderness.

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

How the billows cease to roll!

 
 5 

What a wonderful salvation

Where we always see His face!

What a perfect habitation!

What a quiet resting place!

 

Blessed quietness, holy quietness —

What assurance in my soul!

On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me.

How the billows cease to roll!
