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. Chorus. -- Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are fully blest, Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest. 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. Chorus. -- Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are fully blest, Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest. Every joy or trial Falleth from above, Traced upon our dial By the Sun of Love. We may trust Him solely All for us to do; They who trust Him wholly, Find Him wholly true. Chorus. -- Stayed upon Jehovah, Hearts are truly blest; Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DIORAMA PAINTER AT THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY by KAREN SWENSON ASOLANDO: SUMMUM BONUM by ROBERT BROWNING SONNET by DAVID HARTLEY COLERIDGE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE SIGNS OF THE TIMES by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SONNET: 10.
