1 Like a riv-er glo-rious Is God's per-fect peace,
2 Hid-den in the hol-low Of His bless-ed hand,
3 Ev-'ry joy or tri-al Fall-eth from a -bome,
F Am F F/D# C G G7 C
1 O-ver all vic- to- rious In its bright in- crease;
2 Nev-er foe can fol-low, Nev-er trai- tor stand;
3 Traced up-on our di- al By the Sun of Love;
F Bb F Gm F C
1 Per-fect, yet it flow-eth Full-er ev-'ry day,
2 Not a surge of wor -ry, Not a shade of care,
3 We may trust Him ful -ly All for us to do-
F A7 Dm G7 F Gm C7 F
1 Per-fect yet it grow-eth Deep- er all the way.
2 Not a blast of hur -ry Touch the spir-it there.
3 They who trust Him whol-ly Find Him whol-ly true.
Chorus
F Bb Am Gm F C
Stayed up-on Je-ho-vah, Hearts are ful-ly blest-
F A7 Dm G7 F Gm C7 F
Find-ing, as He prom-ised, Per-fect peace and rest.
