Like a River Glorious

1 Like a river glorious  
Is God’s perfect peace,  
Over all victorious,  
In its bright increase;  
Perfect, yet it floweth  
Fuller every day;  
Perfect, yet it groweth  
Deeper all the way.  

Refrain:  
Stayed upon Jehovah,  
Hearts are fully blest -  
Finding, as He promised,  
Perfect peace and rest.  

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. [Refrain]  

3 Every 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. [Refrain]
