Like a River Glorious

Frances Ridley Havergal • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 17:5

Verse 1

Like a river glorious is God's perfect peace, over all victorious in its bright increase: perfect, yet still flowing fuller every day; perfect, yet still growing deeper all the way.

Chorus

Trusting in the Father, hearts are fully blest, finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest.

Verse 2

Hidden in the hollow of his mighty hand, where no harm can follow, in his strength we stand. We may trust him fully all for us to do; those who trust him wholly find him wholly true.

Chorus

Trusting in the Father, hearts are fully blest, finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest.
