'Like a river, glorious' (hymn) written by Frances Ridley Havergal

Like a river, glorious

Is God's perfect peace,

Overall victorious

In its bright increase;

Perfect, yet it floweth

Fuller every day,

Perfect, yet it groweth

Deeper all the way.


Stayed upon Christ Jesus,

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 worrry,

Not a shade of care,

Not a blast of hurry

Touch the spirit there.


Stayed upon Christ Jesus,

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.


Stayed upon Christ Jesus,

Hearts are fully blest;

Finding, as He promised,

Perfect peace and rest.
