94. Like a River Glorious

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.
 
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest;
 
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.
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.
3
Every joy or trial cometh from above,
 
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
 
We may trust Him fully all for us to do — 
 
They who trust Him wholly, find Him wholly true.
