Like a River Glorious ~
Francis Ridley Havergal (1836 – 1879)
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.
Refrain:
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest
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.
Refrain:
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest
Every joy or trial falleth 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.
Refrain:
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.

The perfect peace and rest He gives is unbelievable. Storms all around yet one is comforted in HIM! Thanks for this post and the beautiful river photo!
Beautiful. I love that second verse.
‘We may trust Him fully all for us to do.
They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.’
Beautiful words to hang onto for the week ahead.
“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.”
So thankful….
I have always loved this song! Stayed upon Jehovah. I love to sing that chorus!
I love this hymn — especially “stayed upon Jehovah”!
Blessings.
