Comfort,  Peace,  Song

Blessed Quietness

Happy Sunday! I just heard this old hymn a while ago – what comforting words! This morning, do you know what it’s like for the Holy Spirit to speak peace to your soul? If not, I pray that this will be the day you accept Christ as your Saviour! Then, you too will know that quiet resting place!

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,
Blest assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me,
And the billows cease to roll.

Everything is turned to gladness,
All around this glorious Guest;
Banished unbelief and sadness,
All is perfect peace and rest.

Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Spirit given,
Falls upon us from on high.

What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What a peaceful habitation!
What a quiet resting place!

(Manie P. Ferguson)
