River of Peace

Verse 1

I’ll sing of a river divine, Its waters from trouble release; More precious than "honey and wine," That river, sweet river is peace.

Chorus

O this river of peace Makes me perfect and whole; And its blessings increase, Flowing deep in my soul.

Verse 2

’Tis flowing from Heaven to earth, It issues from under the throne; Great peace! O thy infinite worth! Sweet peace in my Jesus alone.

Verse 3

O wonderful life-giving flood, Thy waters so crystal and pure Make glad all the "City of God"; Forever thy blessings endure.

Verse 4

O Jesus! the tempest of sin Is hushed into heavenly rest Since tasting the pure living stream That flows from Thy crucified breast.

Verse 5

My moments, as angels appear, All gliding so gently along, Each dropping a blessing so rare, Enraptures my soul with a song.
