Verse 1

Joys are flowing like a river,
since the Comforter has come;
Christ abides with us forever,
makes the trusting heart a home.

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul,

On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks 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.

Refrain

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul,

On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
and the billows cease to roll.

Verse 3

Like the rain that falls from heaven,
like the sunlight from the sky,
so the Spirit, too, is given,
coming on us from on high.

Refrain

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul,

On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
and the billows cease to roll.

Verse 4

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

Refrain

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul,

On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
and the billows cease to roll.

Verse 5

What a wonderful salvation,
when we always see Christ's face,
what a peaceful habitation,
what a quiet resting place.

Refrain

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
what assurance in my soul,

On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
and the billows cease to roll.
