Joys are flowing like a river

lyricist: Manie Payne Ferguson
Composer: W. S. Marshall

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!

Bringing life and health and gladness

All around

this heavenly Guest

Banished unbelief and sadness

Changed our weariness to rest.

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.

See a fruitful field is growing

Blessed fruits of righteousness

And the streams of life are flowing

In the lonely wilderness.

What a wonderful salvation

Where we always see His face!

What a perfect habitation!

What a quiet resting place!
