74. Like a River Glorious

E      B     E        A        B       E
Like a river glorious Is God’s perfect peace,

E    B       E       B      F#7       B
Over all vic-torious In its bright in-crease;

E        B7  E  A    E   F#m7 B7 E     B
Perfect, yet it flow-eth Full-er every day,

E        G#7    C#m  F#7 E      B7      E
Perfect, yet it grow-eth Deeper all the way.

E        B7 E  A  E    F#m7   B7  E     B
Trusting in Je-ho-vah, Hearts are fully blest

E        G#7   C#m  F#    E       B7        E
Finding, as He prom-ised, Perfect peace and rest.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Refrain]
Trusting in Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blessed—
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 3]
Every joy or testing
Comes from God above,
Given to His children
As an act of love;
We may trust Him fully
All for us to do—
Those who trust Him wholly
Find Him wholly true.
