Blessed Quietness
(written by Marie P. Ferguson)


Verse 1:
Joys are flowing like a river,
since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
makes the trusting heart His home.

Chorus:
Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul,
on the stormy sea, *Jesus speaks peace to me,
**and the billows cease to roll.

Verse 2:
Bringing life and health and gladness,
all around this heavenly Guest,
banished unbelief and sadness,
changed our weariness to rest.

Chorus

Verse 3:
Like the rain that falls from heaven,
like the sunlight from the sky,
so the Holy Ghost is given,
coming on us from on high.

Chorus

Verse 4:
See a fruitful field is growing,
blessed fruit of righteousness;
and the streams of life are flowing
in the lonely wilderness.

Chorus

Verse 5:
What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place!

Chorus

* In some hymnals instead of Jesus speaks to me it's He speaks to me

** In some hymnals instead of and the billows cease to roll it's how the billows cease to roll.
