BLESSED QUIETNESS (words rewritten by Jerry Praver, 2013)
1. Joys are flowing like a river since new harmony has come It abides with us forever, makes the trusting heart its home
CHORUS Blessed quiet (quietness) ness, holy quiet (quietness) ness, What assurance in my soul On the stormy (stormy) sea, speaking peace to (peace to) me, How the billows cease to roll.
2. Like the gentle rain from heaven, like the sunlight from the sky; Understanding will be given, falling on us by and by.
3. See the fruitful field is growing, blessed fruits of happiness And the streams of life are flowing in the lonely wilderness
4. What a wondrous contemplation, which we thoroughly embrace What a peaceful habitation, what a quiet resting place
