Global news the last few weeks have been sad. During times of crisis many people
experience moments of despair. Still many others experience bouts of
depression. You may feel helpless and darkness could envelop your spirits. It
is those times that you must press on! Music has a way of flushing the spirit
and lifting your countenance. When the Saints of Old wrote those hymns, they
spoke from experience that in times of uncertainty it is good to know who God
is. Be uplifted my friend. Sing along and let the peace of God flood your being
with hope and healing tonight. Say a prayer before your eyes shut in sleep for
the evening!
(Words by Manie P. Ferguson (1897) Music by W.S. Marshall; James Kirk)
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
seas, He speaks peace to me,
How the
billows cease to roll!
Bringing life and health and gladness,
All around this heavenly guest;
Banished unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest.
Chorus
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
See, a fruitful field is growing,
Blessed fruit of righteousness;
And the streams of life are flowing,
In the lonely wilderness.
Chorus
What a wonderful salvation,
Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation,
What a quiet resting place!
Chorus
Blessings and peace,
Servant Hortense Grimes
