Like a river glorious

by Frances Ridley Havergal (1836–1879)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 74.

Verse 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

Trusting in Jehovah, Hearts are fully blessed— 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

Every joy or testing Comes from God above, Given to His children As an act of love; We may trust Him fully All for us to do— Those who trust Him wholly Find Him wholly true.
