| 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. |
| | Stayed upon Christ Jesus, |
| | Hearts are fully blest; |
| | Finding, as He promised, |
| | Perfect peace and rest. |
| 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. |
| 3. | Every joy or trial |
| | Falleth from above, |
| | Traced upon our dial |
| | By the Sun of Love. |
| | We must trust Him fully |
| | All for us to do; |
| | They who trust Him wholly |
| | Find Him wholly true. |
